Required · St. Anthony
Before advertising for sale AND before the sale of any property, St. Anthony Village requires two inspections: a Public Works inspection confirming no sump pump discharges into the sanitary sewer, and a televised sewer service line inspection by a plumber of the owner's choice, with video from the property to the sewer main. Properties that pass receive a Certificate of I/I Compliance -- valid 3 years, or 10 years after a partial sewer service line replacement or lining, or 25 years after a full one. Sump pump violations must be corrected within 14 days. For violations found at time of sale the SELLER must correct them and submit a post-repair video before the sale, unless the buyer accepts responsibility in writing and corrects within 18 months of the sale.

St. Anthony Village runs no Truth-in-Sale-of-Housing evaluation. The City's own point-of-sale page enumerates the requirement exhaustively -- 'Prior to advertising for sale and the sale of any property, TWO inspections must occur' -- and both are inflow/infiltration checks: a Public Works sump pump inspection and a televised sewer service line inspection. There is no whole-house evaluation, no licensed evaluator and no disclosure report. The City's inflow/infiltration inspections are described under Point-of-sale inspection above.

St. Anthony Village requires a rental license for all rental properties (City Code 111.188), renewed annually by June 1. If the property being sold is currently or was recently used as a rental, the license status is a compliance matter. A buyer intending to rent the property must obtain a rental license before renting. Not a blocking condition on the sale itself, but affects buyer's post-closing obligations.

Minn. Stat. 513.55 requires a seller to disclose all material facts the seller is aware of that could adversely and significantly affect an ordinary buyer's use and enjoyment of the property, or any intended use of the property the seller is aware of. The statute does not name special assessments; an assessment against the property is disclosable when it meets that material-facts test. Whether St. Anthony Village levies special assessments of its own, and how it handles them at sale, has not been researched for this city -- confirm with the City before relying on this.
