Burnsville City Code § 3-15-7 establishes the requirements for submitting a rental license application and a property management license application to the City Manager or designee. Applicants must provide detailed contact information—including a 24-hour emergency phone number—and the designated emergency contact must live within 75 miles of the rental property. If any license information changes during the license period, the licensee must notify the City within 7 business days, and failure to do so may be treated as a license violation.

Under § 3-15-7, compliant rental property operators in Burnsville submit a fully completed application—on the City's official form—along with the required fee to the City Manager or designee before leasing begins. Operators ensure that all contact details, including a 24-hour emergency number and a physical mailing address (no P.O. boxes), are accurate and current, and that the designated emergency contact lives within 75 miles of the property. When any license information changes, compliant operators notify the City within 7 business days to avoid a potential license violation. Non-resident owners and residential building licensees also appoint a City-licensed Property Manager, as required by § 3-15-7, to oversee all licensed rental units.

Section § 3-15-7 of Burnsville's Rental Licensing Code means that any landlord leasing residential property in Burnsville is required to hold a valid rental license and, if they are a non-resident owner, must have a licensed Property Manager on record with the City. Tenants can inquire with the City Manager's office to verify whether their landlord's license is current and whether a licensed Property Manager has been properly appointed. If a landlord appears to be operating without a license or has failed to update required contact information within the 7-business-day window, tenants may report potential violations to the City, or consult a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
