Saint Peter, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. IV § 10-109
Fees
Operative Text
There shall be a biennial per unit registration and inspection fee. The biennial fee shall be included with the renewal registration statement. The registration and inspection fee will be established by resolution of the Council.
Under Saint Peter Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. IV § 10-109, rental properties are subject to a registration and inspection fee that is charged on a biennial (every two years) basis, per unit. The fee amount is not fixed in the ordinance itself but is instead set by resolution of the City Council, meaning it can be updated without amending the code. This fee is collected alongside the renewal registration statement that landlords submit on the biennial cycle.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10-109, compliant rental property operators pay the biennial per-unit registration and inspection fee at the time they submit their renewal registration statement. Because the fee amount is established by City Council resolution rather than written into the ordinance, operators generally monitor Council resolutions to stay current on the applicable fee amount before each renewal period. Keeping records of fee payments alongside registration submissions helps demonstrate ongoing compliance.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 10-109 establishes that landlords are required to register their rental units and pay an associated inspection fee every two years, which supports the city's oversight of rental housing conditions. Tenants can check whether a landlord has maintained current registration as a way of understanding whether the property is subject to the city's inspection program. If you have concerns about whether a property is properly registered, contacting the relevant Saint Peter city office or a local tenant-rights organization can help clarify the status and any available remedies.
