East Bethel, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 50 § 50-7
Transfer of license
Operative Text
A license is transferable for a fee to any person who has actually acquired legal ownership of the rental dwelling. The transfer shall be effective for the unexpired portion of the license period, provided that a transfer application is filed with the city prior to the actual change of legal ownership and that the transferee is not disqualified from holding the license. A license shall terminate upon an owners failure to apply for a transfer prior to change of legal ownership. The fee for the license transfer shall be established by resolution.
Under East Bethel Code of Ordinances ch. 50 § 50-7, a rental dwelling license can be transferred to a new legal owner for a fee, but only if the transfer application is submitted to the city before the ownership change is finalized. The transferred license remains valid for the remainder of its original term, as long as the new owner is not otherwise disqualified from holding it. If the outgoing owner fails to file the transfer application before the ownership change occurs, the license terminates automatically.

Property owners selling or otherwise conveying a licensed rental dwelling in East Bethel should be aware that ch. 50 § 50-7 requires a transfer application to be filed with the city before the legal ownership change takes effect. Compliant operators typically coordinate the timing of the application with the closing process to ensure the license remains active for the new owner through the rest of the license period. The transfer fee is set by city resolution, so checking with the city for the current fee schedule is a standard part of the transaction process.
