Rental Registration

Our Services

The City of Moorhead requires property owners to register their rental property. Rentals include single/multi-family dwellings, multiplexes, condos, mobile homes, and rooming arrangements. Owner-occupied dwellings also require registration when space is shared with unrelated persons. Failure to register may result in administrative citation and/or civil or criminal charges.

Inspections
