Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.30
Notice of conversion to council member of the ward and Minneapolis planning commission (Minneapolis Housing Code)
Operative Text
On the date of giving of the first notice of a conversion as provided in section 250.40 hereof, the declarant shall send by United States mail to the council member of the ward in which the conversion condominium is located and to the Minneapolis Planning Commission written notice of conversion, which states the fact of conversion or the intent to convert. (79-Or-209, § 1, 10-26-79; Pet. No. 252271, § 45, 5-11-90)
Under Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.30, when a property owner begins the formal condominium conversion process, they must simultaneously notify both the local city council member representing the ward where the building is located and the Minneapolis Planning Commission. This notification must be sent by U.S. mail and must state either that a conversion is occurring or that one is intended. The requirement is tied to the same date as the first tenant notice required under § 250.40, ensuring that public officials are informed at the earliest stage of the process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators initiating a condominium conversion under Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.30 generally send two separate written notices by U.S. mail on the same date as the first tenant notice required by § 250.40: one addressed to the council member of the ward in which the property sits, and one to the Minneapolis Planning Commission. Each notice should clearly state the fact of conversion or the intent to convert. Maintaining dated proof of mailing for both notices is a common practice for demonstrating timely compliance with this provision.

Minneapolis, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 12 § 250.30 establishes that your ward's council member and the Minneapolis Planning Commission must be notified in writing on the same date that tenants first receive conversion notice under § 250.40. This means elected and planning officials are brought into the process at the very beginning, creating potential points of contact for tenants who have concerns about a conversion. Tenants who believe this notice requirement was not followed may wish to contact their ward council member's office, reach out to a local tenant-rights organization, or explore whether the omission affects the validity of the conversion process.
