Memo
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator
FROM: Robin Roland, Finance Director
DATE: November 14, 2013
SUBJECT: Deferral of Special Assessments
Introduction
Four property owners have applied for the deferral of assessments under the City program for
deferral of special assessments for senior citizens, disabled, and military persons pursuant to
Minnesota Statute 435.193 to 435.195.
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 ($22,340 for a one person household,
$30,260 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.
All four property owners meet the qualification guidelines.
Action Requested
Adopt the resolution authorizing the deferral of special assessments on properties:
10-027-21-24-0048
10-027-21-23-0046
