Penalty Up for St. Paul Code Violations
Recently the City of Saint Paul’s Truth-in-Sale of Housing (TISH) board of examiners voted to increase the cost for non-compliance to its disclosure ordinance. Now any real estate agent in violation of Chapter 189.03 of the city code will be fined $500. First-time violators who pay the penalty and agree to future compliance can avoid having this conviction remain on their permanent record. According to the ordinance:
“Any owner or agent of an owner who sells or makes available for sale a dwelling by implementing any of the following actions, including, but not limited to, advertising the sale of the dwelling, entering into a listing agreement to sell the dwelling or posting a sign that the dwelling is for sale, or any action where the logical result of that action will be the sale or change of ownership of the property, shall, within three (3) calendar days of any such action, have an evaluation completed by an evaluator licensed under this chapter.”
