Fees
Operative Text
(a) License fees. (1) Fees established and due date. Rental license fees and reinstatement fees shall be set by the city council and shall be due with submission of a new or renewal application. Upon request by the property owner, license fees may be rebated on a prorated basis if a property ceases to operate as a rental dwelling before the end of the license period. (2) Filing due date and penalty. If a renewal application is made less than 60 days before the beginning date of the renewal license period applied for, then the fee shall be accompanied by an additional amount equal to 100 percent of such license fee. The additional amount shall be a penalty for a late application. In no case shall there be a lapse in the license period. (b) Reinspection fees. (1) An initial inspection shall be required at the time of application, the cost of which shall be included in the license application fee. A reinspection to verify compliance will be conducted at no charge. A fee, as set by the city council, may be charged for any subsequent reinspection necessitated by receipt of a valid complaint or as a result of a previous unsatisfactory inspection. (2) The reinspection fee shall be billed directly to the owner or contact person/agent of the property. Reinspection fees shall be increased by 50 percent to cover administrative costs if not paid within 30 days after initial billing.
Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-61 establishes the fee structure for rental property licenses in the city of Anoka. Rental license fees are set by the city council and are due when an application is submitted; if a renewal application is filed fewer than 60 days before the start of the new license period, an additional penalty equal to 100 percent of the license fee is assessed. Reinspection fees, also set by the city council, are billed to the property owner or agent and increase by 50 percent if not paid within 30 days of initial billing. A prorated rebate of license fees is available if a property stops operating as a rental before the license period ends.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-61, compliant rental property operators submit renewal applications at least 60 days before the start of the new license period to avoid the 100 percent late-filing penalty. Owners who receive reinspection fee bills generally pay them within 30 days to prevent the automatic 50 percent administrative surcharge. Operators who permanently remove a property from the rental market before a license period ends may request a prorated rebate of the unused license fee from the city.
