Discussion The City Council adopted a policy in September 2008 that provides for the deferral of special assessments for senior citizens, disabled, and military persons pursuant to Minnesota Statute 435.193 to 435.195. The established policy identifies income guidelines for determination of hardship in order to defer payment of special assessments ($21,660 for a one person household, $29,140 for a two person household etc.). The option to defer the payment of special assessments shall terminate and all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest, shall become due upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the death of the owner, provided that the spouse is otherwise not eligible for the benefits hereunder; (b) the sale, transfer, or subdivision of the property of any part thereof; (c) if the property should for any reason lose its homestead status; or (d) if for any reason the taxing authority deferring the payments shall determine that there would be no hardship to require immediate or partial payment.
