NOTICE is hereby given that the Bloomington City Council will hold a public hearing on September 8, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Bloomington Civic Plaza, located at 1800 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, Minnesota 55431, or by electronic means as provided by state law, to consider a Resolution approving the proposed assessment roll for charges assessed against the property upon which a condition was remedied by the cutting and removal, or eradication of weeds or long grass, or removal of yard waste or brush. The assessment is levied pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 10, Article VI of the City Code, as authorized by Minn. Stat.§ 429.101 subd. 1(a)(2).
The City’s assessment roll is open to public inspection and on file with the Bloomington City Clerk at Bloomington Civic Plaza. To avoid having the above fines and fees added to property taxes, present payment to the Bloomington Finance Department at Bloomington Civic Plaza. Prior to placing these unpaid fines and fees on your property taxes, the City Council will hold a public Assessment Hearing in the City Council Chambers at Bloomington Civic Plaza at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, September 9, 2024, or by electronic means as provided by state law. The City Council will hear written and oral objections at this Assessment Hearing.
No appeal may be taken as to the amount of any assessment unless written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the City Clerk prior to the Assessment Hearing or presented to the Mayor at the Assessment Hearing.
An owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes § 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or Clerk of the municipality within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the district court within ten days after service upon the Mayor or Clerk. Bloomington City Code allows for partial prepayments of the total amount proposed to be assessed, however it does not allow for any deferment procedures. Further information on those rights or any other matter relevant to the proposed assessment may be obtained from the Accounts Receivable Division, Finance Department (952-563-4527).
