Spring Lake Park, Minn., Mun. Code ch. 12.16 (2026) § 12.16.040
Fees
Operative Text
A conversion fee shall be paid for a single-family home that is converted to a rental property. The conversion fee shall be established by ordinance of the City Council. The conversion fee shall be in addition to the first year rental registration fee. Any fees and/or fines associated with rental conversion or registration, and remain unpaid after 90 days, may be specially assessed to the property in the manner prescribed by law. Any existing residential property that has converted to rental and has failed to register with the City of Spring Lake Park is subject to an additional fee which is set forth by Council ordinance.
Under Spring Lake Park Ch. 12.16 Housing Maintenance And Occupancy § 12.16.040, when a single-family home is converted from owner-occupied to rental use, a conversion fee is owed to the city in addition to the standard first-year rental registration fee. Both fees are set by City Council ordinance rather than fixed in the code itself. If any fees or fines related to conversion or registration go unpaid for more than 90 days, the city may place a special assessment against the property, and properties that converted to rental use without registering face an additional penalty fee also set by Council ordinance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to § 12.16.040 who convert a single-family home to a rental generally pay both the conversion fee and the first-year rental registration fee at the time of conversion, as both amounts are established by City Council ordinance. Compliant operators register the property with the City of Spring Lake Park promptly to avoid the additional fee imposed on unregistered converted rentals. Leaving fees or fines unpaid beyond 90 days can result in a special assessment attached directly to the property, which can complicate future sales or refinancing.

Section § 12.16.040 of Spring Lake Park's Housing Maintenance And Occupancy code requires that rental conversions be registered with the city, which means tenants can check whether their landlord has complied with local registration requirements. If a property is operating as an unregistered rental conversion, that noncompliance may be relevant information when raising concerns with the City of Spring Lake Park or a local tenant-rights organization. Tenants who want to understand how registration status may affect their housing situation can contact the city directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with Spring Lake Park ordinances.
