Brainerd, Minn., City Code § 425 (2026) § 425.3005
Issuance of License
Operative Text
425.3005 Issuance of License. When, upon completion of an inspection of a rental dwelling and/or dwelling unit(s), the Housing Inspector finds that the minimum standards for licensing set forth in this article and the IPMC have been met, a rental dwelling license will be issued.
Section 425.3005 of the Brainerd Rental Housing Code establishes the condition under which a rental dwelling license is issued: a Housing Inspector must complete an inspection and find that the property meets the minimum standards set out in the article and the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC). Only after that finding is made will the city issue the license. The provision ties the license directly to verified compliance, not merely to an application being submitted.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 425.3005, a compliant rental property operator in Brainerd ensures that the dwelling and all dwelling units satisfy the minimum standards of both the Rental Housing Code and the IPMC before or at the time of inspection. Operators generally keep the property in inspection-ready condition so that the Housing Inspector can make a positive finding without requiring follow-up visits. Maintaining documentation of repairs, maintenance schedules, and prior inspection results can support a smooth licensing process.

Section 425.3005 means that any rental dwelling in Brainerd is supposed to have passed a Housing Inspector's review confirming it meets minimum code and IPMC standards before a license is issued. Tenants who have questions about whether their building holds a valid license may contact the city's housing or licensing office to request that information. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are available if a rental unit appears to be operating without a properly issued license.
