Frazee, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 2 (2026) § 9-2-19
PUBLIC RECORDS
Operative Text
All records, files and documents pertaining to rental unit registration and rental unit inspections may be obtained by the Administrator and will be available to the public as allowed, permitted or required by State law or City ordinance. (Ord. 151, 9-10-2018)
Under Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-19, records, files, and documents related to rental unit registration and inspections are treated as public records, accessible to the Administrator and to members of the public to the extent that state law or city ordinance permits or requires such access. The provision does not create an independent right of access beyond what existing law already allows; it simply affirms that these rental-related records fall within the public-records framework. Availability of any specific record may therefore depend on applicable state open-records statutes or local ordinances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-19 should be aware that registration documents and inspection records they submit to the city are not treated as confidential by default — they are available to the Administrator and potentially to any member of the public under applicable law. Compliant operators generally maintain accurate and complete records with the understanding that those submissions may be reviewed or disclosed. Keeping documentation consistent and up to date is a standard practice given this public-records framework.

Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-19 affirms that rental unit registration and inspection records are available to the public as allowed by state law or city ordinance, which means tenants may be able to request access to records about their building or unit through the city's Administrator or through a public-records request process. This can be a useful avenue for learning about a property's registration status or inspection history. Tenant-rights organizations can help identify the appropriate process for submitting a records request under applicable state or local law.
