If you are having trouble finding the information you are looking for, please call the office at 952-467-1800 or email about licensing.

A rental dwelling is defined as “a building wholly or partly used or intended to be used for living, sleeping, cooking or eating purposes by human occupants; not including hotels and motels, rest homes, convalescent homes or nursing homes.”

Rental License Period

A rental license is valid for only the three-year licensing period, or portion thereof, in which it is issued unless otherwise stated in City Code. Upon expiration of that license, it will be necessary to relicense the property to continue utilizing it as a rental dwelling.

Rental License Regulations

Once you have applied, call the City’s Building Official, 101 Development Resources, at 320-226-5189 to schedule a rental inspection of your property.

Upon successful completion of the rental inspection, a license will be mailed to the owner’s address listed on the application. The license fee paid at the time of application covers up to TWO inspections on the property. Any inspections beyond that are charged at $75.00 per inspection.
