Staff Report <br />License fee for single family rental dwellings <br />August 28, 2008 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />participation in the Ramsey County Crime Prevention Program. New Brighton does not <br />license and inspect single-family rental property. The 2008 New Brighton fee schedule <br />establishes no base fee and a per-unit fee of $10.25 per unit plus an additional $5 per <br />unit for crime free multi housing. This is a different approach from Shoreview and <br />Mounds View; both cities offer a discount for participating in Crime Prevention Activities. <br />New Brighton also directs $5 of each unit fee into a special fund to offset the cost of a <br />dedicated Crime Free Multi-Housing police officer. <br /> <br />Below are the various base licensing fee scenarios applied to a 35-dwelling unit building <br />and for a single-family dwelling. The base fee in Mounds View (without discounts) for this <br />building is $280. <br /> <br />Blaine Shoreview New Brighton <br />$400 / $60 $345, $275 / $50 $533.75 / N/A <br /> <br />For a regional perspective, staff has included a table from a survey of various rental- <br />licensing fees that was conducted in 2006 by the Minnesota Association of Housing Code <br />Officials.
