Coon Rapids, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-907
Changes in the Rental Dwelling or Rental Dwelling Unit
Operative Text
(1) If changes are made in the number or type of units within the licensed premises, the Licensee shall file an application to amend the rental license. Depending on the nature of the changes, the City may require a new property inspection. (2) Single Family Conversion to Rental. A single family home that is converted to a rental property shall pay a conversion fee. The conversion fee shall be established by resolution of the City Council. The conversion fee includes the rental license application fee and inspection fee for the first year and includes fees for monitoring the property during the first year of operation as a rental property. Monitoring will be conducted on a schedule to be determined by the City Manager. Fees charged for required educational training are not included in the conversion fee.
Under Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-907, any change to the number or type of rental units within a licensed property triggers an obligation to amend the existing rental license, and the city may require a new inspection depending on the scope of the change. Additionally, when a single-family home is converted from owner-occupied or non-rental use to a rental property, a special conversion fee applies. That fee, set by City Council resolution, bundles the first-year license application fee, the inspection fee, and monitoring costs, though fees for any required educational training are billed separately.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-907 generally file a license amendment application whenever they alter the number or type of units on a licensed property, and they budget for the possibility of a new city inspection. Landlords converting a single-family home to a rental use typically pay the city-established conversion fee before or at the time of licensing, understanding that it covers the first-year application, inspection, and monitoring costs but does not cover any required educational training fees. Staying current with the City Manager's monitoring schedule during that first year of rental operation is a standard part of compliance under this section.

Section 12-907 of the Coon Rapids Code of Ordinances establishes that the city actively monitors newly converted single-family rental properties during their first year of operation, which means tenants in such properties may benefit from city oversight of the landlord's compliance. If a tenant believes that changes to their building's units have not been properly licensed or that required inspections have not occurred, they can contact the City of Coon Rapids directly to inquire about the property's license status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Coon Rapids municipal code can also help residents understand what protections and oversight mechanisms apply under this provision.
