Saint Paul file RES 26-932, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-06-17.
Latest action: Passed
Your property could be billed for demolition work If your property was designated vacant, nuisance, or hazardous and demolished in May 2026, you will receive notice of a special assessment due before the September 2, 2026 public hearing, with the amount based on the city's demolition costs.
Neighborhood vacancy and blight removal accelerates By shifting demolition costs to property owners rather than the general city budget, the city incentivizes faster removal of dangerous structures and may encourage owners of adjacent blighted properties to take preventive action.
Property owners have limited time to contest charges Owners must respond during the legislative hearing on July 28, 2026, and the public hearing on September 2, 2026; those unaware of the assessment or unable to attend may face levies without opportunity to challenge the demolition decision or cost allocation.
