Cambridge, Minn., City Code ch. 99 (2026) § 99.05
Registration Expiration
Operative Text
§99.05 REGISTRATION EXPIRATION Registrations are biennial based on the calendar year. All registrations shall expire at midnight on December 31 of all odd numbered years. All renewal registration application materials for the next year shall be received before the expiration date. All renewal registrations received after December 31 will be considered late, but will not receive any fee penalties unless the registration is received after January 31 following the expiration of the registration.
Under Cambridge, MN City Code § 99.05, rental housing registrations run on a two-year cycle tied to the calendar year, expiring at midnight on December 31 of every odd-numbered year. Renewal applications must be submitted before that expiration date. Registrations received after December 31 are considered late, but no fee penalties are assessed unless the renewal arrives after January 31 of the following year—creating a roughly one-month grace window before financial consequences apply.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Cambridge, MN City Code § 99.05 generally keep track of the biennial expiration date—midnight on December 31 of odd-numbered years—and submit complete renewal materials before that deadline. Operators who miss the December 31 cutoff but submit by January 31 of the following year avoid fee penalties, though the registration is still recorded as late. Maintaining a calendar reminder well ahead of the expiration date is a common practice among compliant operators to avoid any lapse in registration status.

Cambridge, MN City Code § 99.05 establishes a public registration cycle for rental housing, which means tenants can look to whether their landlord's registration is current as a baseline indicator of compliance with local rental housing rules. If a landlord's registration has lapsed beyond the January 31 grace period, that late or missing registration may be relevant information when raising concerns with the appropriate local authority. Tenants who have questions about their landlord's registration status may contact the City of Cambridge or consult a tenant-rights organization for guidance on how registration status intersects with their rights.
