How often does Ramsey inspect a rental?
Ramsey licenses rental housing through a dedicated Rental Housing Inspector and inspects every three years. Ramsey is one of the cities where a tenant can put the utility bill in their own name and pay it directly, which takes the balance off the owner. Utility billing runs through OPUS21, and water questions go to Public Works rather than the billing line. Three years between city inspections is long enough that a property can change hands or turn over twice before the inspector returns. Our own annual inspection sits in that gap so the city’s visit is never the first look. Ramsey is also one of the cities where the tenant holds the utility account directly, which is worth setting up correctly at move in because converting it mid tenancy is more work than doing it on day one.
Who do you call about a Ramsey rental license?
Rental questions in Ramsey go to the rental housing inspector on 763-433-9892.
Ramsey sits in Anoka County, so property records, tax statements and assessed values for a Ramsey rental come from Anoka County rather than the city.
The city publishes its requirements on the City of Ramsey rental licensing page.
Who pays the city utilities on a Ramsey rental?
In Ramsey a tenant can put the city utility bill in their own name and pay it directly. That is the better of the two arrangements for an owner, because the balance leaves your name entirely rather than following the property.
The Ramsey city bill covers water, sewer, stormwater, street lights and recycling, billed quarterly through OPUS21.
Ramsey utility billing: 763-576-4343. More metro cities are dropping tenant payments on city utility accounts entirely, so what Ramsey allowed when you bought may not apply now.
