Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-129
Maximum benefits
Operative Text
(a) The total amount of relocation costs and additional compensation to be paid to displaced residents pursuant to this article shall not exceed the greater of 20 percent of the estimated market value of the manufactured home park, as stated in the real property tax statement for the year in which the closure statement is served on the zoning administrator, or 20 percent of the sale price of the manufactured home park. (b) In the event the total of the relocation costs and additional compensation payable to displaced residents exceeds the limitation of this section, the relocation costs or additional compensation payable to each displaced resident shall be decreased proportionately so that the total of relocation costs and additional compensation does not exceed the limitation stated in this section.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-129 establishes a ceiling on the total financial benefits that displaced manufactured home park residents can receive when a park closes. That ceiling is the greater of 20 percent of the park's estimated market value (as shown on the real property tax statement for the year the closure notice is served) or 20 percent of the park's sale price. If the combined relocation costs and additional compensation owed to all displaced residents would exceed that cap, each resident's share is reduced proportionately so the aggregate stays within the limit.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-129, compliant park owners and managers calculate the applicable cap early in the closure process by identifying the greater of the two benchmarks — the tax-assessed market value figure from the closure year or the actual sale price — and then determining 20 percent of that figure. Operators generally track the aggregate of all relocation cost and compensation obligations as they are calculated, so they can identify whether a proportionate reduction will be necessary before payments are disbursed. Maintaining clear documentation of the tax statement and sale price helps demonstrate compliance with the maximum-benefits limitation.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-129 means that if a park closure triggers relocation and compensation benefits for many residents simultaneously, the total pool of money available is capped, and individual payments may be reduced proportionately if the aggregate exceeds the limit. Residents facing a park closure can request information about the park's assessed market value and sale price to understand how the cap is calculated and whether a proportionate reduction applies to their situation. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can help displaced residents review whether the proportionate reduction was applied correctly under this section.
