Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 14.544 establishes several operating requirements for licensed manufactured home parks, youth camps, and recreational camping areas. The license must be visibly posted on-site, is tied to a specific property and owner, and cannot be transferred without following the application process. If a license is suspended, not renewed, or revoked, the property owner faces restrictions on entering new rental agreements, and revocation triggers a formal park-closure process under state law and city code.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 14.544, operators of manufactured home parks, youth camps, or recreational camping areas are expected to keep the license conspicuously posted in the office and available for inspection at reasonable times. Before expanding or significantly altering the premises, a site plan review application must be approved by the issuing authority. When ownership or control changes hands, written notice must be provided to the issuing authority within three days, and the new owner must promptly apply for a license under Division E; failure to maintain a valid license can result in suspension or revocation, which bars new rental agreements and may require initiating park-closure procedures.

Section § 14.544 gives residents and prospective residents the right to request a copy of the facility's license at any time, and the license must be conspicuously displayed in the park or camp office. If a license is suspended, not renewed, or revoked, the property owner is prohibited from entering into new rental agreements, which may be relevant to anyone considering moving into or within the facility. Residents who have concerns about whether a facility is properly licensed or is complying with § 14.544 may contact the issuing or enforcement authority, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
