East Bethel, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 50 § 50-3
License issuance
Operative Text
(a) The city may issue a license if the building and the application are found to be in compliance with the provisions of this article, applicable state and city building codes and with the Property Maintenance Code, Article VI set forth in the East Bethel City Ordinances and provided that all real estate taxes and municipal utility bills for the premises have been paid. Real estate taxes will not be considered to be unpaid for purposes of this section while a proper and timely appeal of such taxes is pending.
East Bethel Code of Ordinances ch. 50 § 50-3 establishes the conditions under which the city may grant a rental license. A license can be issued only when the property and its application meet the requirements of the relevant article, applicable state and local building codes, and the Property Maintenance Code found in Article VI of the East Bethel City Ordinances. Additionally, all real estate taxes and municipal utility bills on the property must be current, though taxes under a valid, timely appeal are not treated as unpaid for this purpose.

Under East Bethel Code of Ordinances ch. 50 § 50-3, compliant operators generally ensure their property meets all applicable building and property maintenance code standards before submitting a license application. They also confirm that real estate taxes and municipal utility bills are paid and up to date, since outstanding balances can prevent license issuance. Operators who have filed a proper and timely tax appeal may still qualify, as taxes under active appeal are not counted as unpaid under this provision.
