Princeton, Minn., City Code title 3 ch. 358 (2026) § 358.20
Severability Clause
Operative Text
358.20 Severability Clause. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Article is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Article.
Section 358.20 of Princeton, MN City Code Title 3 Ch. 358 is a standard severability clause, meaning that if any individual part of the Long Term Residential Rental Licensing ordinance is found legally invalid by a court or other authority, that finding does not automatically invalidate the rest of the ordinance. The remaining sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, and phrases continue to carry full legal effect. This type of provision is common in municipal codes and is designed to preserve as much of the ordinance as possible in the event of a legal challenge.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Princeton, MN City Code § 358.20 can generally rely on the fact that the Long Term Residential Rental Licensing requirements remain in force even if a specific portion of the ordinance is successfully challenged. Compliant operators continue to follow all other applicable sections of Ch. 358 regardless of any isolated legal ruling affecting one part. Staying current with the full ordinance, rather than assuming a partial ruling affects broader obligations, reflects standard practice under a severability framework.
