Sewer service availability charges up for review

Minneapolis file 2026-00856, before the Minneapolis City Council. Passed as of 2026-10-10.

Latest action: Published

What it does

You may owe unpaid sewer service charges. If you have unpaid sewer availability charges on your property, the city can now collect them as a special assessment on your tax bill starting after the September 24 hearing.

The bigger picture

City gains a faster tool to collect sewer debt. Using special assessments makes it easier for the city to recover unpaid sewer fees without going to court, freeing up staff time and money for other water system work.

What to watch

Property owners can't appeal the assessment amount. Once the city sets the charges, property owners have limited ways to dispute whether the fee is correct or fair before it hits their tax bill.

Official summary

Passage of Resolution adopting the assessments, levying the assessments, and adopting the assessment roll for sanitary sewer availability charges (SAC) on the list of properties as on file in the City Engineer's Special Assessment Office.
