Shoreview, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-27
Issuance
Operative Text
The city shall issue a dwelling unit rental license if the dwelling unit is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, and the real estate taxes and municipal utility bills for the dwelling unit have been paid. Real estate taxes will not be considered to be due and payable for the purposes of this section while a proper and timely appeal of such taxes is pending and is diligently pursued to completion by the licensee.
Under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-27, the city is required to issue a dwelling unit rental license when two conditions are met: the unit complies with all requirements of Chapter 30, and any real estate taxes and municipal utility bills associated with the unit have been paid. The provision also clarifies that taxes under active, timely, and diligently pursued appeal are not treated as currently due and payable for licensing purposes, so a pending tax appeal does not automatically block license issuance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a rental license under Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-27 generally ensure that their dwelling unit meets all Chapter 30 code requirements and that real estate taxes and municipal utility bills are current before applying. Landlords who have filed a proper and timely tax appeal and are actively pursuing it to completion can still qualify for license issuance, since those disputed taxes are not counted as unpaid during the appeal period. Keeping documentation of paid utility bills, tax records, and any pending appeal proceedings on hand supports a smooth licensing process.

Shoreview Code of Ordinances ch. 30 § 30-27 establishes that a rental license may only be issued for a unit that is code-compliant and has no outstanding real estate taxes or municipal utility bills, giving tenants a basis to inquire whether their unit holds a valid license. If a tenant has reason to believe a unit was licensed despite unresolved compliance or payment issues, they may raise that concern with the city's licensing or code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Shoreview's rental licensing framework can help residents understand what records are publicly available and what options exist when a unit's licensing status is in question.
