Burnsville, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 3-15 (2026) § 3-15-18
License Reinstatement Or Reapplication
Operative Text
If a license for a unit or building or lot has been revoked or suspended, the license shall only be regranted if all violations are corrected. The owner shall make application for the license and comply with requirements of this chapter prior to issuance including payment of license fee and inspection of affected units. All new applications must be accompanied by a reinstatement fee, as specified by Council resolution, in addition to all other fees required by this chapter. (Ord. 1276, 9-18-2012, eff. 1-2-2013) HISTORY Amended by Ord. 1585 on 4/28/2023
Under Burnsville Ch. 3-15 Rental Licensing § 3-15-18, a rental license that has been revoked or suspended cannot simply be renewed on its regular schedule — it can only be reinstated after every cited violation has been corrected. The owner must submit a new application, pass an inspection of the affected units, pay the standard license fee, and pay a separate reinstatement fee set by City Council resolution. This provision establishes a distinct, more demanding pathway back to licensed status compared with a routine renewal.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators whose rental license has been revoked or suspended under § 3-15-18 are generally expected to resolve all outstanding violations before submitting a reinstatement application. A compliant operator documents the correction of each violation, schedules and passes the required inspection of affected units, and submits both the standard license fee and the Council-resolution-specified reinstatement fee with the new application. Keeping records of violation corrections and fee payments helps demonstrate compliance with the full requirements of Ch. 3-15 before units are re-occupied under a reinstated license.

Section 3-15-18 of Burnsville's Rental Licensing chapter means that if your building's license was revoked or suspended, your landlord is legally required to fix all violations and pass a fresh inspection before the city can reissue a license. Tenants can check with the city to confirm whether a license is currently active and whether all required steps under § 3-15-18 have been completed. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options may be available when a rental unit is operating without a valid license.
