North Mankato, Minn., Mun. Code Ch. 155 (2026) § 151.08
RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSE FEES
Operative Text
(A) License fee. The annual rental license fee for each new rental license application shall be established by resolution of the City Council. (B) License expiration. Each license issued pursuant to this section shall have a term of 1 year and shall expire on December 31. Payment of license fees is due and payable on or before the date of expiration of the license. All rental licenses, for which payment of license fees is over 30 days past due shall be automatically canceled. Reissuance of a rental license for any property with a canceled license shall be handled as if the property were a new license. Such issuance will require the property to comply with all codes in effect at the time of the new license application. (Ord. 234, passed 12-1-2003; Am. Ord. 264, passed 11-21-2005; Am. Ord. 63, 4th series, passed 1-5-2015; Am. Ord. 125, 4th series, passed 2-18-2020)
North Mankato Ch. 155 § 151.08 establishes that residential rental licenses run on a one-year cycle, expiring each December 31, with fees set by City Council resolution. If a license fee goes unpaid for more than 30 days past the expiration date, the license is automatically canceled without further action required by the city. Any property whose license has been canceled must go through the full new-application process, including compliance with all building and housing codes in effect at that time.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 151.08, compliant rental property operators in North Mankato keep track of the December 31 annual expiration date and submit license fee payments on or before that deadline each year. Operators who allow fees to lapse beyond 30 days risk automatic cancellation, which triggers a full new-license process—including a fresh code-compliance review under current standards rather than those that applied when the original license was issued. Maintaining a calendar reminder well ahead of the December 31 deadline and confirming the current fee amount with the City Council's most recent resolution are practices associated with uninterrupted licensure.
