Wayzata, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.11
License Fees
Operative Text
License fees and administrative penalties shall be in the amount established in current fee schedule adopted by the City Council. License fees shall not be prorated for any portion of the calendar year, nor shall any license fee be refunded in whole or in part. The license fee may be doubled whenever a renewal application is received after it is due.
Under Wayzata Code of Ordinances ch. 815 § 815.11, rental license fees are set by the City Council through an adopted fee schedule, and those fees are fixed for the full calendar year regardless of when a license is obtained or surrendered. No partial-year proration is available, and no refunds are issued once a fee is paid. If a renewal application is submitted late, the applicable fee may be doubled as an administrative consequence.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators subject to ch. 815 § 815.11 generally keep close track of their renewal deadlines, since a late renewal application can result in a license fee that is twice the standard amount. Because fees are neither prorated nor refunded, compliant operators typically budget for the full annual fee regardless of when they acquire or relinquish a rental property during the year. Checking the City Council's current fee schedule before each renewal cycle helps ensure the correct amount is submitted on time.
