No fees or charges are specified in the MBC, unless a specific amount is required by law.
A city adopting the MBC must therefore adopt an Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges. A model MBC Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges is found at Appendix IV of this User's Guide. Until the model ordinance is adopted, the MBC provides that any fees and charges established by ordinances or resolution that are in effect when the MBC is adopted remain in effect.
The Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges can be adopted at the same time as the ordinance adopting the MBC or at a later time. If you don’t adopt at the same time, old fees remain in effect.
In addition, state law requires the city to take additional steps to adopt or increase fees on specific subjects:
• Liquor Licensing Fees.
The Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges sets various liquor licensing fees. When
increasing liquor licensing fees, M.S. § 340A.408 requires the city to hold a hearing and send mailed notice of the hearing to all effected liquor licensees. Notice must be sent at least 30 days before the date set for the hearing. If no increase in the fee occurs upon adoption of the Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges, no notice need be sent.
• Land Use Fees, Including Zoning and Subdivision Permit Fees.
The Ordinance Establishing Fees and Charges sets various land use fees. When setting these fees the city must follow the procedures of M.S. § 462.353. The city must hold a public hearing on the proposed land use fee schedule for which at least ten days published notice has been provided.
