Saint Paul file RES 26-1671, before the Saint Paul City Council. Still to be decided as of 2026-10-28.
Latest action: Agenda Ready
Your property may be assessed for boarding costs If the city boarded up or secured your building in August 2026 for safety reasons, you will receive a bill to cover that cost; the city council will hold a public hearing on February 3, 2027 to set the final amount.
Vacant and problem properties fund their own securing By shifting boarding costs to individual property owners instead of the city budget, Saint Paul encourages owners to maintain buildings and prevent them from becoming unsafe in the first place.
Owners have limited time to challenge the bill Property owners can object at the November 24 legislative hearing or February 3 public hearing, but the assessment process moves quickly, leaving a narrow window to dispute the city's decision to board the building or the cost amount.
