occupant, no part of the application fee, inspection fee or license fee will be returned.Under North Oaks, MN City Ordinances Ch. 114 § 114.70, rental property licenses expire on December 31st of each year and must be renewed annually using a city-provided form. Operating a rental dwelling after the license has expired constitutes a violation of the ordinance. A change in property ownership triggers the requirement for an entirely new license application, and failure to comply with written inspection orders can result in adverse license actions, including denial of the license.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 114.70, compliant rental property operators in North Oaks track their license expiration date of December 31st and submit renewal applications on the city's designated form before that deadline. When a rental property changes hands, the new owner obtains a fresh license rather than relying on the prior owner's credentials. Operators who receive written orders following an inspection generally address those requirements promptly, since noncompliance can trigger adverse license actions up to and including denial.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 114.70 of the North Oaks ordinance requires that landlords hold a current, valid rental license — one that has not expired on December 31st — and that a new license be obtained whenever ownership changes.
