Hutchinson, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 122 (2026) § 122.08
FEES
Operative Text
The fees for rental unit registration, registration renewal, late fees and inspections will be set by the City Council in the ordinance adopting the city’s fee schedule, as it may be amended by the City Council from time to time. Failure to pay appropriate fees will result in the city assessing such amounts to the property value through the county. (2004 Code, § 122.08) (Ord. 07-0482, passed 2-26-2008)
Under Hutchinson Ch. 122 Rental Unit Registration § 122.08, the fees associated with rental unit registration—including initial registration, renewal, late payments, and inspections—are not fixed in the ordinance itself but are instead determined by the City Council through a separate fee schedule that can be updated over time. If those fees go unpaid, the city has the authority to attach the outstanding amounts to the property's assessed value, collecting them through the county. This mechanism effectively turns unpaid registration fees into a charge that follows the property itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of rental properties in Hutchinson should be aware that under § 122.08, the applicable registration, renewal, late, and inspection fees are set by City Council resolution and may change as the fee schedule is amended. Compliant operators regularly check the current city fee schedule to ensure they are paying the correct amounts on time. Because unpaid fees under this section can be assessed against the property's value through the county, staying current on all required payments is a standard part of responsible property management in Hutchinson.

Section 122.08 of Hutchinson's rental unit registration ordinance establishes that landlords are responsible for paying registration-related fees set by the City Council, and that failure to pay can result in those amounts being attached to the property through the county. While this provision primarily governs landlord obligations, tenants may find it relevant when evaluating whether a rental unit is properly registered and in compliance with local requirements.
