Saint Peter, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. IV § 10-113
Transfer of property
Operative Text
Every new owner of residential rental property (whether as fee owner or contract purchaser) shall be required to furnish to the City Clerk-Administrator, the new owner's name, address, and phone number and the name, address, and phone number of the owner's designated agent upon closing of the transaction. No registration fee shall be required of the new owner during the year in which the property is purchased provided that the previous owner has paid all registration fees, has complied with all requirements of this article, and has corrected any violations of this City Code.
Under Saint Peter Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. IV § 10-113, when residential rental property changes hands, the incoming owner must provide their contact information and the contact information of their designated agent to the City Clerk-Administrator at the time of closing. If the prior owner was fully current on registration fees, had met all article requirements, and had resolved any code violations, the new owner is not required to pay a registration fee for the remainder of the purchase year. This provision ensures the city maintains up-to-date ownership records for rental properties at every point of transfer.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators acquiring residential rental property in Saint Peter should be aware that § 10-113 requires disclosure of the new owner's name, address, and phone number—along with the same details for any designated agent—to the City Clerk-Administrator at closing. Compliant purchasers typically confirm before closing whether the selling owner has paid all outstanding registration fees, satisfied article requirements, and corrected any code violations, since that prior compliance determines whether the registration fee waiver for the purchase year applies. Keeping documentation of the prior owner's compliance status is a practice commonly associated with a smooth ownership transition under this provision.

Saint Peter Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. IV § 10-113 requires that any new owner of a residential rental property register their contact information with the City Clerk-Administrator upon closing, which means tenants should be able to identify who owns their building and how to reach them or their designated agent through city records. If a property changes hands and no updated ownership information appears on file, tenants may contact the City Clerk-Administrator's office to inquire about compliance with this registration requirement. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Saint Peter's ordinances can help residents understand what options may be available when ownership records appear incomplete or out of date.
