FEES
Operative Text
(A) In addition to other fees as may be imposed by this code, a nonrefundable fee in an amount to be determined by City Council for each dwelling building containing less than four units, a fee in an amount to be determined by City Council for each dwelling building containing four to eight units, a fee in an amount to be determined by City Council for each dwelling building containing nine or more units, plus a fee in an amount to be determined by City Council for each apartment unit and each of the first four rooming units not occupied by the owner shall be paid when an application for a registration certificate or renewal is filed with the City Administrator as required by this subchapter. If an application for renewal is not made prior to the expiration of the certificate, an additional fee in an amount to be determined by City Council 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 from time to time by resolution of the City Council. (B) The per-unit fee shall be waived for any premises actively enrolled/currently certified in the crime free multi-housing program conducted by the Police Department. At the time of registration, proof of enrollment is required in the form of a current crime free multi-housing gold certificate issued by the Police Department or a letter issued and signed by the officer assigned to the Police Department Crime Prevention Unit, indicating the premises' status in the program. (Prior Code, § 28-12) (Ord. 800, passed - -)
Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.29 establishes a fee structure for rental property registration certificates and renewals, with amounts set by City Council resolution and scaled by building size — covering buildings with fewer than four units, four to eight units, and nine or more units — plus per-unit and per-rooming-unit fees. If a renewal application is not filed before the existing certificate expires, a daily late fee accrues for up to 20 days or until the application is submitted, whichever comes first. Separately, the per-unit fee is waived for properties actively enrolled and currently certified in the Police Department's Crime Free Multi-Housing Program, provided valid documentation is presented at the time of registration.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.29, compliant rental property operators submit their registration certificate application or renewal — along with the applicable City Council-set fees — before the current certificate expires to avoid the daily late fee that begins accruing the day after expiration. Operators who manage properties enrolled in the Police Department's Crime Free Multi-Housing Program generally keep their gold certificate or a signed letter from the Crime Prevention Unit officer on hand, as that documentation must be presented at registration to claim the per-unit fee waiver. Because fee amounts are subject to adjustment by City Council resolution at any time, operators typically verify current fee schedules with the City Administrator before filing.

Kasson Ch. 96 § 96.29 governs the fees landlords must pay to register or renew rental properties with the City, which is part of the broader registration system designed to ensure rental housing meets local standards. Tenants who believe their landlord may be operating without a valid registration certificate can inquire with the City Administrator's office about a property's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Kasson's rental housing code can help residents understand how the registration requirement under this subchapter may relate to their housing situation.
