REGISTRATION REINSTATEMENT OR REAPPLICATION
Operative Text
(A) If a registration for a unit or building or lot has been revoked or suspended, the registration shall only be regranted if all violations are corrected. The owner shall make application for the registration and comply with requirements of this chapter prior to issuance including payment of registration fee and inspection of affected units. (B) 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. 86, Seventh Series, passed 10-7-2019)
Fergus Falls Ch. 117 § 117.13 establishes the process for restoring a rental registration that has been revoked or suspended. A registration cannot be reinstated until all cited violations have been corrected, and the property owner must submit a new application, pay the required fees—including a separate reinstatement fee set by City Council resolution—and pass an inspection of the affected units. The provision applies to individual units, buildings, or lots whose registrations were previously revoked or suspended.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fergus Falls Ch. 117 § 117.13, operators whose rental registration has been revoked or suspended must resolve every outstanding violation before a new registration can be issued. A compliant operator typically documents all corrective actions, submits a complete reapplication, pays both the standard registration fee and the reinstatement fee established by Council resolution, and arranges for the required inspection of affected units. Maintaining ongoing compliance with Chapter 117 requirements is the most straightforward way to avoid the reinstatement process altogether.

Fergus Falls Ch. 117 § 117.13 means that a landlord whose rental registration was revoked or suspended cannot legally operate those units again until all violations are fixed, fees are paid, and an inspection is passed. Tenants in units affected by a revoked or suspended registration may have grounds to raise the landlord's non-compliance in relevant proceedings, or to file a concern with the appropriate city department overseeing rental registrations in Fergus Falls. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local ordinances can help explain what options may be available under this provision.
