Aurora, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 154 (2026) § 154.09
MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS
Operative Text
All records, files, and documents pertaining to rental unit registration and rental unit inspections may be maintained by the City Administrator and will be available to the public as allowed, permitted, or required by state law or city ordinance. (Ord. 97, passed 5-2-2023)
Aurora Chapter 154, Section 154.09 establishes that records, files, and documents related to rental unit registration and inspections are kept by the City Administrator. These records are treated as public documents to the extent that state law or city ordinance permits or requires their disclosure. The provision does not create new confidentiality protections, nor does it guarantee unrestricted public access — existing law governs both.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Aurora Ch. 154 § 154.09, rental unit registration and inspection records are held by the City Administrator and may be accessible to the public. Compliant operators generally keep their own copies of submitted registration materials and inspection reports, since the official record is maintained at the city level. Being aware that these records could be publicly viewable — within the bounds state law and city ordinance allow — is a practical consideration when managing documentation.
