Collects unpaid yard waste bills from spring 2026

Saint Paul file RES 26-1624, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-10-14.

Latest action: Passed

What it does

You may owe money for spring yard waste service If you did not pay your yard waste bill from April to June 2026, the city will send you a bill and may add a charge to your property tax bill or place a lien on your home.

The bigger picture

Property owners could face liens tied to unpaid city bills Once the city sets up this collection system for yard waste, it creates a model for collecting other unpaid city service bills through property tax liens, which could affect your ability to sell or refinance your home.

What to watch

Only covers spring 2026; other unpaid bills remain separate This resolution applies only to yard waste service from April to June 2026, so people with unpaid bills from other time periods will need to be collected under different rules or may fall through the cracks.
