For Property Managers

Property owners in Minneapolis who are required to obtain a truth-in-sale of housing evaluation under the city's ordinance should be aware that, per § 248.230, evaluators are authorized to charge for their services. Compliant operators typically budget for and pay these evaluation fees as part of the transaction process.
