Operative Text
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to operate a manufactured home park and/or recreational camping area within the City of St. Cloud without possessing a valid license issued to them by the department, as required by this ordinance. The city council grants authority to issue and renew licenses pursuant to this section to the health director. Subd. 1. Application for license. Application for a manufactured home park or recreational camping area shall be made annually on forms provided by the department. Each application for a license shall be completed in full, and together with the appropriate license fee as described in Ordinance 512 and submitted to the department not later than December 1 each year preceding the expiration of the current year's license. In the case of a new manufactured home park or recreational camping area, a minimum of 30 days prior to the opening date of the manufactured home park or recreational camping area. Subd. 2. Late penalty. The penalty for late payment of license application will be set forth in Ordinance 500 of this Code. Subd. 3. Licenses are valid from January 1 to December 31 for each year. Subd. 4. The license shall state the number of manufactured home sites, independent recreational camping sites and dependent recreational camping sites. No additional sites may be added without approval from the department. Subd. 5. The license shall be conspicuously displayed in the office of the manufactured home park or recreational camping area. Subd. 6. The license shall not be transferable from one establishment, person, entity or location to another establishment, person, entity or location.
St. Cloud Code of Ordinances § 442:03 establishes that operating a manufactured home park or recreational camping area within the City of St. Cloud without a valid license is unlawful. Licenses run on a calendar-year basis (January 1 through December 31) and must be renewed annually, with applications submitted to the health department no later than December 1 of the preceding year. The license specifies the number of permitted sites, cannot be transferred to another person or location, and must be visibly posted in the facility's office.

Under St. Cloud Code of Ordinances § 442:03, operators of manufactured home parks and recreational camping areas are expected to submit a completed license application—along with the fee required by Ordinance 512—to the health department by December 1 each year. Compliant operators ensure the license is conspicuously displayed in the facility office, refrain from adding sites beyond what the license authorizes without departmental approval, and do not attempt to transfer the license to another person, entity, or location. New facilities must apply at least 30 days before their planned opening date, and late applications are subject to a penalty established in Ordinance 500.

St. Cloud Code of Ordinances § 442:03 gives residents of manufactured home parks a basis to verify that their park is operating under a current, valid license, which should be visibly posted in the park's office. If a license is absent, expired, or appears to cover fewer sites than are in use, that may indicate a compliance issue worth noting. Tenants who have concerns about whether a park is properly licensed can contact the St. Cloud health department directly or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
