Saint Paul file RES 26-1365, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-09-23.
Latest action: Passed
Your property may be assessed for weed removal If the city removed weeds or brush from your property in July or August 2026, you could receive a bill for that work; the city council will hold hearings in October 2026 and January 2027 to decide which properties get charged and how much.
Shifts weed control costs to individual property owners Instead of funding abatement citywide through taxes, St. Paul is charging specific property owners for the cleanup work done on their land, which can encourage owners to maintain yards but also spreads costs unevenly.
Owners who cannot attend hearings may still be charged The resolution sets hearing dates but does not spell out how property owners will be notified or what happens if they miss the October or January hearings to contest the charges.
