SENIOR CITIZEN DEFERMENT
Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 435.193 to 435.195, the Columbia Heights City Council may, in its
discretion, defer the payment of special assessments for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of
age or older or retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the
payments. This deferral procedure shall apply only to assessments which are payable in five or more annual
installments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted and is terminated for any reason
provided by law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner
meeting the requirements of this law and Resolution No. 2011-136, adopted under it,may apply to the City
1
Clerk on the prescribed form for such deferral of payments of these special assessments. If you qualify and
wish a deferment, then contact the City Clerk.
AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLY ASSESS
The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are
proposed to be assessed on an area, lot or frontage basis, or combination of these methods against properties
abutting or tributary to said improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces of property, as specifically
described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amounts set forth in this Notice are the proposed final
assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the
proposed amounts.
PAYMENTS OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Anoka
County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this
certification, however, the property owner may prepay a portion of or the entire amount of the special
assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received within 30 days after levy and
adoption of the special assessments by the City Council. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special
assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Columbia Heights at City Hall,
590 - 40th Avenue NE, Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421.
If prepayment is not received within thirty(30) days after the special assessments are levied and adopted by the
City Council, then:
(a) The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and
payable together with real estate taxes.
(b) Interest on the entire special assessments, from the'date of levy to December 31St of the year in which
the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be
due and payable in 2013.
(c) If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then
Minnesota Statute, Section 429.061, Subdivision 3, provides that such payment may be made to the City
of Columbia Heights, together with interest accrued to December 31 st of the year in which payment is
made as long as payment is made prior to November 15th; if the pay off occurs after November 15th,
then interest for the next year is also added. Partial payment of the special assessments is not allowed by
the City; the payment must be for the entire amount of the special assessments.
If the adopted assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot,piece or parcel of land,
then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also
be notified, by mail or at the assessment hearing, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or
prepayment requirements from those contained in this Notice of Hearing.
