Maple Plain, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. 13 § 4-542
Conformance to laws
Operative Text
No license shall be issued unless the rental dwelling and its premises conform to the ordinances of the City, the Minnesota State Building Code, and all applicable laws of the state.
Maple Plain Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. 13 § 4-542 establishes that a rental dwelling license cannot be granted unless the property and its surrounding premises meet the City's own ordinances, the Minnesota State Building Code, and any other applicable state laws. This rule functions as a threshold requirement — compliance with all relevant legal standards is a prerequisite to obtaining a license, not something that can be addressed after the fact. The provision applies to the property itself as well as the land and structures associated with it.

Under Maple Plain Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. 13 § 4-542, operators seeking a rental dwelling license generally ensure that their property is brought into full compliance with City ordinances, the Minnesota State Building Code, and applicable state law before submitting a license application. Compliant operators typically conduct a thorough review of the physical condition of both the dwelling and its premises, addressing any outstanding code deficiencies in advance. Maintaining ongoing compliance — not just at the time of initial licensure — is consistent with the spirit of this provision, since violations discovered later could affect license status.
