Anoka, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 50, art. II § 50-67
Violations and penalties
Operative Text
Any person violating any provision of this article is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be subject to the penalties set forth in state law.
Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-67 establishes that any violation of Article II of Chapter 50 is treated as a misdemeanor under Minnesota law. Rather than specifying a fixed dollar amount or jail term within the local code itself, the provision defers to state law for the applicable penalties upon conviction. This means the consequences of a violation are determined by Minnesota's standard misdemeanor sentencing framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-67, operators who fail to comply with the requirements of Article II face potential misdemeanor criminal liability, not merely a civil fine. Compliant property managers generally maintain thorough records of their adherence to each provision in Article II to demonstrate good-faith compliance. Because a conviction carries the weight of a criminal misdemeanor under state law, understanding the full scope of Article II obligations is a standard part of responsible property management in Anoka.

Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-67 signals that violations of Article II are treated seriously — as criminal misdemeanors rather than minor infractions. Tenants who believe a landlord has violated Article II may report the concern to local code enforcement or the city, which can initiate a process that could lead to criminal charges under state law. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Anoka and Minnesota law can help explain what options are generally available when a potential Article II violation is suspected.
