Saint Paul file RES 26-1247, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-08-26.
Latest action: Passed
Your property may be billed for cleanup costs. If your lot had abatement work (brush removal, mowing, demolition debris cleanup) during June or July 2026, you'll get a bill. You can challenge it at the September 22 hearing or January 6 public hearing.
Abandoned and neglected properties get city cleanup. The city removes overgrowth and hazards from vacant lots to protect neighbors and neighborhoods. The cost gets passed to property owners rather than paid from the city's general budget.
Owners who cannot pay may face tax consequences. If you don't pay the abatement bill, it becomes a tax lien on your property. This can affect your credit and ability to sell or refinance.
