Where any conflict arises between the 1991 Uniform Housing Code and Chaska's own Code of Ordinances, the local ordinances take precedence. This provision establishes the foundational framework under which rental housing rules and licensing requirements operate in Chaska.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Chaska Ch. 11.16.010, rental property operators are generally expected to meet the standards set forth in the 1991 Uniform Housing Code, which has been adopted as the city's baseline for housing maintenance and inspection. Compliant operators familiarize themselves with both the Uniform Housing Code requirements and Chaska's local Code of Ordinances, keeping in mind that local ordinances govern whenever the two conflict. Staying current with both sets of rules helps ensure properties remain in compliance with the city's rental housing licensing program.
