Columbia Heights, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 5A (2026) § 5A.409
LICENSE FEES
Operative Text
License fees, license transfer fees, license reinstatement fees, inspection fees and reinspection fees shall be established by Council Resolution. (Ord. 1532, passed 11-26-07)
Under Columbia Heights Ch. 5A Rental Housing § 5A.409, the amounts charged for rental housing licenses, license transfers, license reinstatements, inspections, and reinspections are not fixed in the ordinance itself. Instead, the City Council sets these fee amounts through a separate Council Resolution, meaning the figures can be updated by resolution without amending the underlying ordinance. Anyone subject to these fees should consult the current Council Resolution to find the applicable amounts.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Columbia Heights Ch. 5A Rental Housing § 5A.409 places the responsibility for setting license and inspection fee amounts with the City Council, not within the ordinance text itself. Operators who maintain rental housing licenses, transfer them, seek reinstatement, or schedule inspections and reinspections generally verify the current fee schedule by checking the most recent Council Resolution before submitting payments. Keeping records of fees paid and confirming that the correct amount was remitted under the current resolution is a standard part of compliant license management.

Columbia Heights Ch. 5A Rental Housing § 5A.409 establishes that the fees landlords pay for rental housing licenses and inspections are set by Council Resolution, which means those amounts may change over time. Tenants can use this provision as context when evaluating whether a landlord's property is properly licensed, since the licensing process involves fees that the city actively administers and updates. Tenant-rights organizations or the city's housing office can help identify the current fee schedule and explain how the licensing framework connects to tenant protections.
