SUMMARY OF
ORDINANCE NO. 1710
BEING AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 5A OF
THE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
CITY CODE TO REQUIRE THE
REMOVAL OF DISCRIMINATORY
COVENANTS BEFORE A
CERTIFICATE OF PROPERTY
MAINTENANCE MAY BE ISSUED
The City Council for the City of
Columbia Heights, Minnesota ad-
opted Ordinance No. 1710, Febru-
ary 10, 2025.
The purpose of this ordinance is
to update, upon passage, Chapter
5A of Columbia Heights City Code
to include the requirement to the
Time of Sale program for property
owners to individually discharge or
renounce discriminatory covenants
from their property at the time of
sale of the property. Discriminato-
ry covenants are restrictions filed
in property records that prohibit-
ed that property from being sold
to persons based on race, color,
creed, religion, national origin, sex,
marital status, status with regard to
public assistance, disability, sex-
ual orientation, or familial status
background. These recriminatory
covenants are now illegal and are
unenforceable, but they remain in
property records. In 219, the Min-
nesota Legislature passed Min-
nesota Statutes, section 507.18
allowing property owners to in-
dividually discharge or renounce
discriminatory covenant by record-
ing a discharge form in the county
property records. No certificate of
property maintenance shall be is-
sued if a property has an outstand-
ing discriminatory covenant. The
owner is responsible for removing
all discriminatory covenants before
they may be issued a Certificate of
-Property Maintenance or a Tempo-
rary Certificate of Property Mainte-
nance.

No. 1710. A copy of the entire text
