Byron, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 114 (2026) § 114.11
FEES
Operative Text
(A) In addition to such other fees as may be imposed by this code, a nonrefundable fee per living unit shall be paid when an application for a registration certificate or renewal is filed with the city/City Administrator as required by this chapter. Such fee shall be established annually as part of the master fee schedule. If an application for renewal is not made prior to the expiration of the certificate, an additional fee of $2.50 per day shall be charged for each day thereafter up to 20 days or until the application is filed, whichever occurs first. The fees set forth above may be adjusted with the adoption of the City of Byron Fee Schedule. (B) The application fee shall be waived for each year the owner has a current or valid crime free rental housing certificate for any premises currently certified in Phase I of the Crime Free Multi-Housing program conducted by law enforcement agencies certified in Minnesota Crime Prevention Association (MNCPA). Phase I certification must be renewed every three years. (Ord. 114, passed 6-25-08; Am. Ord. 2025-09, passed 9-9-25)
Byron Ch. 114 Crime Free Rental Housing § 114.11 establishes a nonrefundable per-unit fee that must accompany any application for a registration certificate or renewal filed with the City Administrator. If a renewal application is submitted after the certificate has already expired, a late fee of $2.50 per day accrues for up to 20 days or until the application is filed, whichever comes first. Owners who hold a current, valid crime free rental housing certificate under Phase I of the Crime Free Multi-Housing program—certified through the Minnesota Crime Prevention Association (MNCPA)—are exempt from the application fee for each year that certification is in good standing, provided it is renewed every three years.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Byron Ch. 114 § 114.11, compliant rental property operators submit their registration certificate applications or renewals to the City Administrator before the existing certificate expires, thereby avoiding the $2.50-per-day late fee that begins accruing the day after expiration. Operators who maintain an active Phase I Crime Free Multi-Housing certification through an MNCPA-certified law enforcement agency can take advantage of the annual fee waiver, making timely three-year renewal of that certification a routine part of property management. Staying current with the City of Byron Fee Schedule is also advisable, as the base registration fee is set and may be adjusted through that annual process.

Byron Ch. 114 § 114.11 governs the fees landlords must pay to register rental units with the city, which is part of the broader Crime Free Rental Housing program that affects the properties where tenants live. If a landlord's registration certificate lapses, late fees begin accumulating under this provision, which may be relevant context when tenants are researching whether their unit is properly registered. Tenants who have questions about their landlord's registration status can contact the City Administrator's office or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on how registration requirements intersect with their rights.
