Appeals
Operative Text
(a) Filing. A Licensed Evaluator may obtain a hearing before the City Council to appeal any Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board order by filing a written request with the City Clerk. The deadline for filing an appeal shall be within ten (10) calendar days after the date when the order is sent to the Licensed Evaluator. (b) Setting hearing date. In the event that an appeal is filed with the City Clerk, the City Council shall, within two (2) weeks, fix a date for a public hearing. The City Clerk shall mail a notice of the date, time, place and subject of the hearing to the person requesting the appeal and to the Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board's secretary-treasurer. (c) Hearing. At the time of the City Council hearing, the City Council shall hear from the person requesting the appeal, any board member or their designee, and any other party who wishes to be heard regarding the appeal. After the hearing, the City Council may reverse, confirm or modify the Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board's order. The City Clerk shall mail a copy of the City Council's decision of the appeal to the person requesting the appeal and the board chairperson.
Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 189 § 189.11 establishes a formal appeal process through which a Licensed Evaluator can challenge an order issued by the Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board. The appeal must be filed in writing with the City Clerk within ten calendar days of the order being sent, after which the City Council schedules a public hearing within two weeks. Following the hearing—where the appellant, board representatives, and any interested parties may speak—the City Council has authority to reverse, confirm, or modify the original board order.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 189 § 189.11, a Licensed Evaluator who disagrees with a Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board order generally acts promptly, submitting a written appeal to the City Clerk within the ten-calendar-day window from the date the order was sent. Compliant operators typically keep records of when orders are received and maintain communication with the City Clerk's office to confirm hearing dates, times, and locations once scheduled. After the City Council hearing, the decision is mailed to the appellant, so maintaining a current mailing address on file is a standard practice.

Saint Paul Legislative Code ch. 189 § 189.11 governs how Licensed Evaluators—not tenants directly—may appeal Truth-in-Sale of Housing Board orders, but the public hearing component means that any interested party may attend and be heard by the City Council. Tenants who believe a board order affects their housing situation may have an opportunity to present their perspective at such a hearing. Those seeking to understand how this appeals process intersects with their rights can consult the Saint Paul City Clerk's office or a local tenant-rights organization for general information.
