Mounds View, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 119 (2026) § 119.022
LICENSE FEES
Operative Text
An annual fee, per the city’s approved fee schedule, shall be paid 30 days prior to the license expiration date. License fees may be reduced by voluntary participation in the crime-free rental housing program as outlined in § 119.007 of this chapter. Any owner or agent who fails to apply for license renewal in the case of an existing license, prior to the time or date set forth herein shall pay a penalty as established by City Council resolution. The license fee shall include the initial inspection and one follow-up inspection. A fee, per the city’s approved fee schedule, shall be charged for any reinspections or attempted reinspections required, whether due to the failure of the reinspection, the enforcement officer’s inability to gain access to the multiple dwelling at the time of attempted reinspection, or otherwise, and must be paid before a license will be issued. The operation of an unlicensed rental dwelling unit shall be subject to an additional administrative fine, established by City Council resolution. (Prior Code, § 1012.03) (Ord. 731, passed 03-22-2004; Ord. 802, passed 02-25-2008; Ord. 915, passed 06-13-2016)
Mounds View Ch. 119 § 119.022 establishes the fee structure for rental housing licenses in the city. Landlords must pay an annual license fee according to the city's approved fee schedule at least 30 days before the license expires, and that fee covers an initial inspection and one follow-up inspection. Additional charges apply for reinspections or failed access attempts, and operating a rental unit without a valid license exposes the owner to an administrative fine set by City Council resolution. Participation in the crime-free rental housing program described in § 119.007 can reduce the required fee.

Under Mounds View Ch. 119 § 119.022, compliant rental property operators pay their annual license fee at least 30 days before the expiration date and submit renewal applications on time to avoid late penalties established by City Council resolution. The standard fee covers the initial inspection and one follow-up, but operators should be aware that reinspections—including situations where an inspector cannot gain access—trigger additional charges that must be cleared before a license is issued. Owners who participate in the crime-free rental housing program outlined in § 119.007 may qualify for a reduced license fee, and operating any rental unit without a current license can result in an additional administrative fine.

Mounds View Ch. 119 § 119.022 requires that rental dwelling units be properly licensed, meaning tenants generally have an interest in knowing whether their unit is covered by a current, valid license. If a rental unit is being operated without a license, the owner may be subject to administrative fines under this provision, which can be relevant context when raising habitability or code-compliance concerns. Tenants who believe their unit may be unlicensed can contact the City of Mounds View directly to inquire about license status, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
