Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.21 establishes the process and required content for rental registration certificate applications in the city. Owners must file with the City Administrator, and applications for dwellings being converted to rental use must be submitted to the Director of Planning and Zoning at least 30 days before the conversion takes place. The application must capture detailed identifying information about the owner (including partners, corporate officers, or contract vendees as applicable), any agents or operators involved in management, the property's address, a description of the rental units, and valid government-issued photo identification from the applicant.

Under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.21, compliant property owners obtain the required application forms from the City Administrator at City Hall and submit them before operating a rental dwelling — or at least 30 days before converting a property to rental use, in which case the filing goes to the Director of Planning and Zoning. Operators generally ensure the application accurately reflects all ownership structures (sole owner, partnership, corporation, or contract-for-deed arrangement), identifies any management agents, and includes a full description of the rental units. Bringing valid government-issued photo identification — such as a driver's license, state ID, or military ID — is part of completing the application process.

Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.21 requires landlords to register their rental dwellings with the city, which means tenants can inquire with the City Administrator's office to learn whether a property holds a valid registration certificate. If a landlord has not complied with the registration requirements — including the 30-day advance filing rule for converted dwellings — that non-compliance may be relevant in housing-related proceedings or complaints. Tenants who have questions about a property's registration status or their rights under the city housing code may find it helpful to contact the City Administrator's office or a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
