Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 14.525 establishes that anyone who completes an official housing evaluation report on the city's prescribed form must first obtain an evaluator license from the city and pay the associated fee. These licenses are not permanent — they expire on December 31 of each year, requiring annual renewal. Qualified city employees who conduct evaluations under this division are exempt from the license fee, though the general fee schedule is governed by § 14.03 of the code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers in Bloomington who rely on housing evaluations should confirm that any evaluator completing reports on the city's prescribed form holds a current, valid license as required by § 14.525. Because all licenses expire on December 31 annually, operators who engage evaluators should verify that licensure is renewed each year before evaluations are conducted. Fee obligations for evaluators are set out in § 14.03, and working with an unlicensed evaluator could affect the validity of the resulting housing evaluation report.
