For Property Managers

Under South St. Paul Code of Ordinances ch. 106, art. VII § 106-252, property owners and managers who receive an adverse decision, notification, or order have a defined window to seek review. Compliant operators generally track the date of any official action and, if they wish to contest it, prepare a written appeal that identifies the specific decision and articulates the grounds for disagreement before the 20-day deadline. Filing with the city clerk within that window is the procedural step that preserves the right to a council hearing.
