Fridley, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 508 (2026) § 508.03
Park Closure Notice
Operative Text
If all or a portion of a manufactured home park is to be converted to another use, or is being closed or will cease being used as a manufactured home park, the park owner must prepare a closure statement and provide a copy of the statement to the Commissioners of Health and the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, the City’s Planning Commission and a resident of each manufactured home where the residential use is being converted at least 12 months before the conversion or closure. The closure statement must include the following language in a font no smaller than 14 point: “YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION FROM THE MINNESOTA MANUFACTURED HOME RELOCATION TRUST FUND ADMINISTERED BY THE MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCING AGENCY.” HISTORY Amended by Ord. 1419 on 3/11/2024
Fridley Ch. 508 § 508.03 requires that when a manufactured home park—or any part of one—is being closed or converted to another use, the park owner must prepare a formal closure statement and deliver it to state and local authorities as well as to each affected resident at least 12 months before the change takes effect. The closure statement must prominently notify residents, in a font no smaller than 14 points, that they may be entitled to compensation from the Minnesota Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund. This rule ensures affected residents receive both advance warning and information about potential financial assistance before any displacement occurs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fridley Ch. 508 § 508.03, compliant park owners preparing for a closure or conversion generally draft a closure statement well in advance of the 12-month deadline and distribute copies to the Commissioners of Health, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, the City's Planning Commission, and each affected resident. The statement must include the required trust fund notice in at least 14-point font—operators typically verify font size and exact wording before distribution to meet the provision's specific formatting requirements. Maintaining dated records of delivery to all required recipients is a common practice for demonstrating timely compliance.

Fridley Ch. 508 § 508.03 gives residents of manufactured homes facing park closure or conversion the right to receive a formal closure statement at least 12 months before the change, along with a notice—in 14-point font or larger—that compensation from the Minnesota Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund may be available to them. If a resident does not receive this statement within the required timeframe, that gap may be relevant to any rights or remedies available under the chapter. Residents in this situation may find it useful to contact the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand what options the relocation trust fund and other provisions may provide.
