Public Hearing - Certification of 2026 Escrow Account Balances to Hennepin County

Action Required:
Approval
 
 
Summary

Each year, the city certifies to the county all unpaid annual service charges. This year, these charges include Delinquent Escrow Account Balances. In addition to the outstanding delinquent amount, an administrative fee of 10% is added by the City and an additional $2.50 fee is added once received by the County.

 

State Statutes require the City to hold a public hearing regarding the assessment of these fees prior to certifying the assessment rolls to the County. Notices of special assessment hearing were sent to all delinquent properties. The public hearing is called to provide an opportunity for residents to ask questions and provide comments regarding the proposed assessment.

 
Financial/Budget

Assessment notices were sent on September 15, 2026. Residents can pay their assessment until November 13, 2026. At this time, the total to be certified is $7,442.45. This amount will be decreased by any payments received up to the final payment date of November 13, 2026, and the final assessment roll will be sent to Hennepin County.
