<br /> <br />M EMORANDUM <br /> <br />to: Mounds View City Council <br />from: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director <br />re: Rental Licensing Renewals (update) <br />date: January 9, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br />Status of delinquent 2020 Rental License Renewals: <br /> <br />Rental Type Total <br />Nothing <br />Received <br />Utility Bill – <br />Not Paid <br />Need Payment/ <br />Paid Short <br />Single Family 25 4 5 16 <br />4 Unit Dwellings 3 2 0 1 <br />6 Unit Dwellings 2 0 2 0 <br />11 Unit Dwellings 1 0 0 1 <br />12 Unit Dwellings 11 0 0 11 <br />23 Unit Dwellings 1 1 0 0 <br />Totals 43 7 7 29 <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />A Rental License is required if a home, townhome, condominium, or apartment is to be occupied <br />by someone other than the homeowner. Exceptions: (1) if a home is occupied by the homeowner <br />and up to two sleeping rooms are rented, in which the renters have full access to the home; and, <br />(2) Group Homes licensed through Ramsey County. <br /> <br />Mounds View licenses 1,802 units, and 271 owners/managers (2019). Licenses are valid January <br />1st thru December 31st. License renewals are due by November 30th each year. Complete rental <br />license renewals are to include; a completed application form and fees; 2nd half of property taxes <br />paid (Oct 15th), and 3rd quarter public utility bills paid (Nov 27th). <br /> <br />In 2018, the City made three significant changes: (1) all fire inspections were conducted by staff <br />(instead of SBM), often in conjunction with rental inspections; (2) changed the license expiration <br />date from September 30th, to December 31st to coincide with the calendar year; and, (3) used <br />email to disseminate letters to owners/managers instead of US mail. As of October 1, 2018, <br />there were 43 incomplete license renewals. As of January 1, 2019, there were 54 incomplete <br />license renewals. <br /> <br />When the City transitioned from US Mail to email, there was some pushback from owners who <br />were not frequent users of email. It is the City’s position that email is the dominate form of <br />communicating detailed and time sensitive information. <br /> <br />In 2019, the City made three significant changes: (1) increased license fees to be commensurable <br />with expenses and comparable to other suburbs; (2) revived the Crime-Free Multi-Family <br />Housing program; and (3) enforced late fee penalties. As of December 3, 2019, there were 74 <br />incomplete license renewals. As of January 8, 2020, there were 43 incomplete license renewals.
