Rosemount Ch. 95 Rental Licensing § 9-8-7 establishes that the Minnesota State Building Code, the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), and the International Fire Code are all incorporated into Rosemount's rental licensing framework by reference. This means that whenever a new edition of any of these codes is published, Rosemount's chapter automatically updates to reflect it without requiring a separate local ordinance. The provision functions as a living adoption clause, ensuring the local rental code stays aligned with current state and international standards.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 9-8-7, compliant rental property operators in Rosemount stay current with the Minnesota State Building Code, the most recent edition of the IPMC, and the most recent International Fire Code — all of which apply to their properties as though written directly into local law. Because the provision automatically incorporates updated editions, operators generally monitor code changes at the state and international level and adjust maintenance and safety practices accordingly. Keeping records of inspections and repairs that reflect current code requirements is a common practice among operators seeking to demonstrate ongoing compliance.
