St. Paul Park, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV § 18-63
Rental of single-family dwellings
Operative Text
Single-family residences shall follow the same procedures as set forth for licensure as multi-family residences as outlined below with the exception that the term of the license shall continue until the ownership of the unit has transferred with required inspections only upon transfer or receipt of a complaint.
Under St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances ch. 18, art. IV § 18-63, single-family rental homes are subject to the same licensing procedures that apply to multi-family rental properties, with one key difference: the rental license for a single-family home does not expire on a fixed schedule but instead remains valid until the property changes ownership. Inspections of single-family rentals are triggered only when ownership transfers or when a complaint is received, rather than on a routine periodic basis. This creates a distinct licensing timeline for single-family rentals compared to multi-family properties.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of single-family rental properties in St. Paul Park should be aware that, under § 18-63, they must obtain a rental license following the same application and procedural steps required for multi-family properties. Once licensed, the single-family rental license remains in effect until the property is sold or otherwise transferred, at which point a new inspection and licensure process is required. Inspections may also be initiated if a complaint is filed, so maintaining the property in compliance with applicable standards throughout the license period is a hallmark of responsible operation.

Section 18-63 of the St. Paul Park Code of Ordinances establishes that single-family rental homes must be licensed, and that inspections can be triggered not only by an ownership transfer but also by a complaint. Tenants who believe their single-family rental home has conditions that may warrant an inspection have a general path of filing a complaint with the appropriate local authority, which can prompt an official review of the property. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with St. Paul Park regulations can help residents understand what conditions may support a complaint and what options are generally available.
