Mounds View, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 119 (2026) § 119.026
ANNUAL RENEWAL OF LICENSE
Operative Text
The term of the rental dwelling license is 12 months and expires on December 31 of each year. Exceptions: the 2019 annual fee shall be 15 months (five quarters): 10-1-2018 through 12-31-2019. (Prior Code, § 1012.03) (Ord. 731, passed 03-22-2004; Ord. 802, passed 02-25-2008; Ord. 946, passed 07-09-2018)
Under Mounds View Ch. 119 § 119.026, rental dwelling licenses run on a 12-month cycle and expire on December 31 of each year, requiring renewal annually. A one-time exception applied to the 2019 license period, which was extended to 15 months—covering October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019—to align all licenses with the standard calendar-year schedule. This provision establishes the basic temporal framework for how long a rental license remains valid before it must be renewed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating rental dwellings in Mounds View should be aware that under § 119.026, each rental dwelling license expires on December 31 regardless of when it was originally issued, making year-end renewal a recurring compliance milestone. Operators who maintain organized records of their license expiration dates and initiate the renewal process before December 31 each year are generally positioned to avoid lapses in licensure. The 15-month exception that applied to the 2019 cycle was a one-time transitional measure and does not affect current annual renewal obligations.

Under Mounds View Ch. 119 § 119.026, rental dwelling licenses are required to be renewed each year and expire on December 31, meaning tenants can generally expect their landlord's license to follow this annual cycle. If a tenant has reason to believe a landlord is operating without a current, valid license, they may contact the City of Mounds View directly to inquire about a property's license status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Minnesota municipal housing codes can help tenants understand what options may be available if a rental property is found to be unlicensed.
