Saint Paul file RES 26-813, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-06-17.
Latest action: Passed
Your property may be assessed for boarding service costs If your St. Paul property required emergency securing or boarding in March 2026, you will receive notice of potential assessment charges to be decided at public hearings on July 14 and August 19, 2026.
Cost-recovery model shifts emergency response expenses to property owners Rather than funding all emergency boarding from the general city budget, St. Paul is assessing individual property owners for the direct costs of services provided to their specific properties, which may incentivize faster property stabilization.
Affected property owners have limited time to prepare for hearings Property owners will not know their final assessment amounts until after the August 19 public hearing, and those who dispute the assessment will need to participate in the formal hearing process or face a binding lien on their property.
