Roseville, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 1202 § 1202.07
Payment of additional compensation to displaced owners
Operative Text
(a) If a displaced owner either cannot or chooses not to relocate the manufactured home within a 25-mile radius of the park that is being closed or some other agreed upon distance and tenders title to the manufactured home, the displaced owner is entitled to additional compensation to be paid by the purchaser of the park in order to mitigate the adverse financial impact of the park closing. In such instance, the additional compensation shall be an amount equal to the estimated market value or the tax assessed value of the manufactured home, whichever is greater, as determined by an independent appraiser experienced in manufactured home appraisal approved by the city. (b) The purchaser shall pay the cost of the appraisal or shall reimburse the city for any advances it makes to such appraiser for such cost. The purchaser shall pay the additional compensation into an escrow account, established by the park owner, for distribution upon transfer of title to the home. (c) Such compensation shall be paid to the displaced owners no later than 90 days prior to closing of the park or its conversion to another use, whichever is earlier.
Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1202 § 1202.07, when a manufactured home park closes or converts to another use, a displaced owner who cannot or chooses not to relocate their home within 25 miles (or another agreed distance) may surrender the title and receive additional financial compensation from the park's purchaser. That compensation equals whichever is greater — the estimated market value or the tax-assessed value of the home — as determined by a city-approved independent appraiser experienced in manufactured home valuation. The full payment must be deposited into an escrow account and delivered to the displaced owner no later than 90 days before the park closes or converts, whichever comes first.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Purchasers of manufactured home parks subject to Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1202 § 1202.07 are generally responsible for funding and coordinating the appraisal process through a city-approved, independent appraiser experienced in manufactured home valuation. Compliant operators pay — or reimburse the city for — all appraisal costs, deposit the required additional compensation into a park-owner-established escrow account, and ensure those funds are available to displaced owners no fewer than 90 days before the park closes or converts. Keeping clear documentation of appraisal approvals, escrow establishment, and payment timelines is a standard part of managing obligations under this provision.

Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1202 § 1202.07 gives displaced manufactured home owners who cannot or choose not to relocate within the applicable distance a right to additional compensation — at least equal to the higher of the home's market value or tax-assessed value — upon tendering title. This compensation must be secured in escrow and paid out no later than 90 days before the park closes or converts, giving residents a defined financial floor and a clear deadline to watch for. Displaced owners who believe this right is not being honored may consider contacting the City of Roseville, consulting a tenant-rights or housing organization familiar with manufactured home regulations, or exploring whether the compensation obligation can be raised as part of any formal relocation or closure proceeding.
