Albert Lea, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. II § 26.030
License fees
Operative Text
Fees for rental housing licenses issued under this article shall be as established in the annual fee schedule.
Under Albert Lea Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. II § 26.030, rental housing licenses in Albert Lea are not free — property owners must pay fees to obtain them, and the specific dollar amounts are set by the city's annual fee schedule rather than being fixed in the ordinance itself. This means the fee amounts can change from year to year as the city updates its schedule. The rule establishes that a fee obligation exists and delegates the actual figures to a separate, periodically updated document.
