What does an Orono rental home license cost?
Orono licenses rental homes at $120 for a two year term. A two year license cycle is unusual in the metro and it is easy to lose track of in the off year, when nothing arrives to prompt a renewal. Orono does not publish an inspection interval. City water and sewer reach only Navarre and the Highway 12 corridor, and Orono charges a quarterly septic admin fee on properties outside that service area.
Who do you call about an Orono rental license?
Rental questions in Orono go to the city clerk on 952-249-4600.
Orono sits in Hennepin County, so property records, tax statements and assessed values for a Orono rental come from Hennepin County rather than the city.
The city publishes its requirements on the City of Orono rental licensing page.
Who pays the city utilities on an Orono rental?
Whether a tenant can hold the Orono city utility account is not published, so we confirm it with the city for each property rather than assuming it carries over from a neighboring city.
The Orono city bill covers water, sanitary sewer, stormwater, recycling, a quarterly septic admin fee and the state testing fee, with city service reaching only Navarre and the Highway 12 corridor.
Orono utility billing: 952-249-4614. More metro cities are dropping tenant payments on city utility accounts entirely, so what Orono allowed when you bought may not apply now.
