Saint Paul file RLH AR 26-30, before the Saint Paul City Council. Passed as of 2026-05-20.
Latest action: Passed
Property owner pays for September 2025 boarding The owner of 1566 Grotto Street North is now liable for the city's costs to secure and/or board up the property in September 2025, assessed under File No. J2605B1 (Assessment No. 268113).
Shifts vacancy-control costs to property owners By ratifying this assessment, St. Paul reaffirms that owners of neglected or abandoned properties must cover the city's expenses for emergency stabilization work, incentivizing faster property maintenance and reducing public-sector burden.
Owner may dispute assessment or face lien If the property owner contests the assessment amount or timeline, their options for appeal may be limited depending on St. Paul's assessment dispute procedures; unpaid assessments typically become tax liens on the property.
