Virginia Rental licensing / registration

Do landlords need a rental license or registration in Virginia?

Localities with rental inspection districts may require owners to notify the building department in writing that a unit is rented, but the ordinance may not include a registration requirement or any fee for that notification. Statute text: "The rental inspection ordinance shall not include a registration requirement or a fee of any kind associated with the written notification pursuant to this subdivision" (Va. Code § 36-105.1:1).
