North Saint Paul, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 15 (2026) § 155.05
LATE FEE
Operative Text
A late fee shall be charged and collected whenever an owner applies for renewal of a license after the expiration date of the previously held license. A late fee will also be charged and collected whenever the owner or responsible agent pays late any other fee imposed under this chapter. The owner of a rental property must pay a late fee in the amount set by ordinance by the City Council. Late fees shall be in addition to any other fees or payment required. (Ord. 746, passed 12-15-2015)
North Saint Paul Ch. 15 § 155.05 establishes a late fee requirement that applies whenever a rental property owner submits a renewal application after their license has already expired, or pays any other fee required under Chapter 15 after its due date. The late fee amount is not fixed in the statute itself but is instead set by the City Council through ordinance. These late fees are charged on top of—not instead of—any other fees or payments already owed under the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under North Saint Paul Ch. 15 § 155.05, operators who manage rental properties generally stay current on their license renewal deadlines and all other Chapter 15 fee payment schedules to avoid triggering automatic late fees. A compliant operator typically tracks the expiration date of each rental license and submits renewal applications before that date. Because the City Council sets the late fee amount by ordinance, property managers commonly verify the current fee schedule with the city to understand the full cost of any delayed payment.

North Saint Paul Ch. 15 § 155.05 is directed at landlords rather than tenants, but it is relevant to renters because it reflects whether a landlord is maintaining a current, valid rental license. Tenants who suspect their landlord is operating with an expired license may find it useful to contact the City of North Saint Paul to inquire about the property's licensing status. Tenant-rights organizations can help renters understand what options may be available when a rental property is not properly licensed under Chapter 15.
