What does Shakopee require from rental owners?
Shakopee requires two separate filings rather than one: a rental license through Building and Inspections, and a separate rental registration with the Police Department. Shakopee inspects every three years. Utilities come from Shakopee Public Utilities rather than the city, with electric, water, sewer and storm drainage arriving on a single SPU bill, and Shakopee is one of the cities where a tenant can put that bill in their own name. Two filings means two chances to miss one, and the Police Department registration is the one owners forget because it does not look like a licensing task. Shakopee is also in Scott County rather than Hennepin, so property records and tax statements come from a different county office than most of our service area. Utilities arriving from Shakopee Public Utilities rather than the city means a separate account, separate contact and separate shutoff process.
Who do you call about a Shakopee rental license?
Rental questions in Shakopee go to Building and Inspections on 952-233-9340.
Shakopee sits in Scott County, so property records, tax statements and assessed values for a Shakopee rental come from Scott County rather than the city.
The city publishes its requirements on the City of Shakopee rental licensing page.
Who pays the city utilities on a Shakopee rental?
In Shakopee 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 Shakopee city bill covers electric, water, sewer and storm drainage on a single Shakopee Public Utilities bill.
Shakopee utility billing: 952-445-1988. More metro cities are dropping tenant payments on city utility accounts entirely, so what Shakopee allowed when you bought may not apply now.
