Relative homesteads rental licensing requirements prohibition provision
This bill prohibits local governments in Minnesota from requiring rental licenses, registrations, or inspections for homesteads occupied by relatives of the property owner. It defines "relative" broadly to include parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, and cousins, covering relationships formed by blood or marriage. The legislation allows these relatives to live in the home without facing additional regulatory burdens typically associated with renting out a property, while still maintaining the homestead's tax benefits. Additionally, the bill clarifies that neither the owner nor the relative occupant can claim a specific property tax refund for these relative-occupied homesteads.
