What does a Champlin rental license require?
Champlin licenses every residential rental annually and charges $110 for a single family residence. Converting an owner occupied home to a rental costs $500, which includes the first license fee (City of Champlin rental licensing program). The owner or an agent must also complete Crime Free Housing training, with proof due within one year of a new license being issued. The detail that matters most in Champlin is one almost no other metro city has. Under City Code section 30-23, no more than 10% of the single family lots on a census block may hold a rental license in the R-1 through R-4 districts. If the block you are buying on is already at the cap, you cannot license the property as a rental at all, no matter how good the deal looked. That makes Champlin the one city in our service area where the licensing question belongs before the purchase offer rather than after closing. The city publishes a rental density map, though it warns the map can be out of date, so the only safe check is to confirm the block with the Code Enforcement Officer directly. We do that check for owners considering a Champlin purchase. It is also worth confirming that any homeowners association on the property does not restrict renting before you apply.
Who do you call about a Champlin rental license?
Rental questions in Champlin go to the Code Enforcement Officer on 763-421-8100.
Champlin sits in Hennepin County, so property records, tax statements and assessed values for a Champlin rental come from Hennepin County rather than the city.
The city publishes its requirements on the City of Champlin rental licensing page.
Who pays the city utilities on a Champlin rental?
Champlin does not allow a tenant to hold the city utility account. The owner pays and the account stays in the owner name, so the cost is either built into the rent or rebilled to the resident each cycle.
Champlin utility billing: 763-421-8100. More metro cities are dropping tenant payments on city utility accounts entirely, so what Champlin allowed when you bought may not apply now.
