Portable houses need licensing???

[skogie1]

Read somewhere that we now have to license portables in MN the way permanents are licensed. Anyone else heard of this?

Before the law considered a wheelhouse type house was "portable" thus didnt need a license if it wasnt left unoccupied on the ice.  Wheelhouses are now not considered portable and needs a shelter license. 
If you have a flip type, suitcase, hub etc that is folded you still dont need a shelter license as before.

But you can not be more than 200 feet away from it

Read the same - 200ft rule with your pop-up/flip.  Eskimos come with that window sleeve and safety-pin deal.  Think i'll print and stuff for peace of mind.  Definitely make the 200ft+ dash on the sled and in search of new spots and would hate to receive a fine in the mail.  Anyone know what that fine sets you back?

Yup, I read the article and blew by that part.  How dumb, houses under the new definition of portables are rarely left unattended for too long anyway, at least by me.  I still use a suitcase clam 6800, if a gust of wind hammers it that bugger turns into a big sail if a person isnt in.
