Under Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-5, rental dwelling registrations must be renewed every year before the annual renewal date. The city is responsible for mailing renewal forms to the property owner or designated local manager at least 30 days before the registration expires, and completed forms must be returned to the city's Community Development Department. This provision establishes a shared administrative process: the city initiates the renewal cycle, and the property owner completes it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-5 places the annual renewal obligation squarely on property owners and designated local managers. Compliant operators typically watch for the city's renewal mailing, which arrives roughly 30 days before expiration, and ensure the completed form is returned to the Community Development Department before the deadline. Keeping contact information current with the city helps ensure the renewal notice reaches the right person in time.

Moorhead Ch. 1105 § 9-7-5 requires that rental dwellings maintain a current, annually renewed registration with the city. Tenants who have reason to believe their rental unit's registration has lapsed may contact the Moorhead Community Development Department to inquire about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord has not complied with local registration requirements.
