Does Zimmerman require a rental license?
Zimmerman has no dedicated rental licensing program page, and rental questions go through city hall directly. Zimmerman is one of the cities where a tenant can put the utility bill in their own name and pay it, which removes the balance from the owner. Zimmerman city hall is closed all day Friday, which is worth knowing before planning a call about a filing deadline. Zimmerman sits in Sherburne County rather than Hennepin or Anoka, which changes where property records and tax statements come from and catches owners who assume everything in the metro runs through Hennepin. Zimmerman is also at the outer edge of our service area, so rents and housing stock here look more like exurban Minnesota than the inner ring suburbs, and the right rent for a Zimmerman property is not a Maple Grove number adjusted downward.
Who do you call about a Zimmerman rental license?
Rental questions in Zimmerman go to city hall on 763-856-4666.
Zimmerman sits in Sherburne County, so property records, tax statements and assessed values for a Zimmerman rental come from Sherburne County rather than the city.
The city publishes its requirements on the City of Zimmerman rental licensing page.
Who pays the city utilities on a Zimmerman rental?
In Zimmerman 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.
Zimmerman utility billing: 763-856-4666. More metro cities are dropping tenant payments on city utility accounts entirely, so what Zimmerman allowed when you bought may not apply now.
