Hoyt Lakes, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 153 (2026) § 153.06
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
Operative Text
Every new owner of a rental unit, whether fee owner or contract purchaser, shall furnish to the City Administrator the new owner’s name, address, and phone number, and the name, address, and phone number of the new owner’s designated local property manager before taking possession of the rental property upon closing of the transaction. No new registration fee is be required of the new owner during the year in which such possession takes place, provided that the previous owner has paid all registration fees and has complied with all requirements of this chapter and any violations of health, zoning, fire or safety codes of the city and county. If any change in the type of occupancy as originally registered is contemplated by the new owner, a new registration application will be required. (Ord. 236, passed 11-28-2022)
Under Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 Long-Term Rentals § 153.06, whenever a rental property changes hands—whether through a standard sale or a contract-for-deed arrangement—the incoming owner must provide the City Administrator with their contact information and the contact information of their designated local property manager before taking possession. If the prior owner was current on all fees and code compliance, no new registration fee is owed for the remainder of that calendar year. However, if the new owner intends to change the type of occupancy from what was originally registered, a fresh registration application is required.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners acquiring a rental unit in Hoyt Lakes should be aware that § 153.06 requires the new owner's name, address, phone number, and the same details for a designated local property manager to be submitted to the City Administrator prior to closing and taking possession. Compliant operators confirm that the selling owner has satisfied all outstanding registration fees and code violations before closing, since the fee waiver for the remainder of the year is contingent on the prior owner's clean record. If any change to the registered occupancy type is planned, operators under § 153.06 submit a new registration application before proceeding with that change.

Under Hoyt Lakes Ch. 153 Long-Term Rentals § 153.06, tenants have an interest in knowing that a new owner is required to register with the City Administrator—including identifying a local property manager—before taking possession of the rental property. This means tenants should be able to obtain current ownership and management contact information from the city if a property changes hands. If a new owner appears to be operating without completing this registration process or has changed the occupancy type without a new application, tenants may contact the Hoyt Lakes City Administrator's office to inquire about compliance with § 153.06 or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
