Ramsey Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. XIV § 26-647 establishes the fee structure for residential rental licenses in the city of Ramsey. Landlords who operate without a valid license face a daily delinquency penalty equal to five percent of the license fee for up to 90 days, after which the city may take legal action to halt use of the dwelling unit. License fees are non-refundable once a license is revoked or suspended, and reinspection and reinstatement fees must be paid before a renewal or reinstated license can be issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Ramsey Code of Ordinances ch. 26, art. XIV § 26-647, compliant rental property operators submit all required fees with their initial or renewal applications before the license lapses. Operators who allow a license to expire risk accumulating a five-percent-per-day delinquency penalty for up to 90 days, and beyond that window the city may pursue action to stop use of the affected unit. Following any suspension or revocation, operators generally ensure all outstanding reinspection and reinstatement fees are paid in full according to the city fee schedule before seeking to resume licensed operations.
