Issuance
Operative Text
The city shall issue a license if the rental dwelling units and the application are found to be in compliance with this article and any required license fees are paid. Posting of rental licenses is not required; however, the property owner or agent for the owner must be able to present the license if asked to do so.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 20, art. III § 20-156 establishes the conditions under which the city issues a rental dwelling license: the units and application must comply with the article's requirements, and any applicable license fees must be paid. Once issued, the license does not need to be physically posted at the property, but it must be available for presentation upon request. This rule sets both the threshold for obtaining a license and the ongoing obligation to keep it accessible.
