Frazee, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 2 (2026) § 9-2-5
ANNUAL REGISTRATION; RENEWALS
Operative Text
A. Registration shall be required annually and be issued prior to the renewal date. The City will annually mail registration renewal forms to rental unit owners or their designated local property managers at least ninety (90) days prior to expiration. Failure of the City to mail a renewal form and failure of an owner or local property manager to receive a renewal form does not excuse or waive the registration required by this chapter. Completed registration renewal forms, containing all required information, must be delivered to the Administrator at least sixty (60) days prior to expiration of the existing registration. The City may issue registration renewals prior to the renewal date of each successive year. If by the renewal date a registration has not been renewed, a reinstatement fee for each rental unit will be charged. B. A person or entity who is operating a rental unit after the registration has expired is operating an unregistered rental unit. (Ord. 151, 9-10-2018)
Under Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-5, rental unit registrations must be renewed every year. The City is required to mail renewal forms at least 90 days before expiration, but an owner's failure to receive that form does not eliminate the obligation to renew. Completed renewal forms must reach the Administrator at least 60 days before the current registration expires, and any unit operated after registration lapses is considered unregistered, triggering a reinstatement fee per unit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-5 places the renewal burden squarely on the owner or designated local property manager, regardless of whether the City's mailed form arrives. Compliant operators typically track their registration expiration dates independently, submit completed renewal forms to the Administrator well before the 60-day deadline, and budget for the per-unit reinstatement fee if a renewal is ever missed. Keeping a record of the submission date and confirmation of receipt helps demonstrate timely compliance.

Under Frazee Ch. 2 Rental Units § 9-2-5, tenants have an interest in knowing whether their unit is currently registered, since operating an expired registration renders the unit legally unregistered. Tenants who suspect their landlord is operating without a valid registration may inquire with the City Administrator about the unit's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Frazee's rental regulations can help explain what options may be available when a unit is found to be unregistered.
