(B) Any outstanding bills or invoices related to the enforcement of the residential rental property ordinance will have a lien against the property being serviced and the City Clerk-Treasurer shall certify to the Waseca County Auditor’s Office the amount of the delinquent balance, which amount shall be added to taxes and assessments due and payable against the property. (Ord. 85, passed - -2020)
Waldorf Ch. 151 § 175.33 establishes that property owners must pay all city invoices tied to enforcement of the residential rental property ordinance, with fees set by the city fee schedule and the contracted inspector's hourly rate. Invoices become past due 30 days after issuance. If a balance remains unpaid, the city places a lien on the property and certifies the delinquent amount to the Waseca County Auditor's Office, where it is added to the property's tax and assessment obligations.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 175.33, compliant rental property operators track and pay all city-issued invoices related to ordinance enforcement within the 30-day payment window to avoid a delinquent status. Operators familiar with this provision understand that unpaid balances do not simply accrue interest — they become liens attached to the property itself and are folded into the property's tax and assessment record through the Waseca County Auditor's Office. Keeping records of all invoices received from the city and reconciling them against the city fee schedule and the contracted inspector's hourly rate are practices associated with staying current under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 175.33 governs the financial relationship between the city and the property owner regarding enforcement costs — it does not directly regulate tenant rent or habitability rights, but it is relevant context for tenants. If a property has outstanding delinquent balances under this provision, those amounts become liens on the property and are certified to the Waseca County Auditor's Office, which may signal ongoing enforcement activity at the rental property. Tenants who believe their property is subject to unresolved ordinance enforcement issues may wish to contact the city directly, review public records, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on what enforcement activity under § 175.33 may mean for their tenancy.
