BACKGROUND: The Zone 4B Street Rehabilitation improvement project was approved on December 7, 2020
as part of the City’s comprehensive Street Rehabilitation program. The project consisted of partial street
reconstruction (FDR) and mill and overlay.
4th Street from 52nd Avenue to 53rd Avenue was removed from the 2021 levy and is being assessed at this time.
Attached are the resolution adopting the proposed assessments including assessment roll, assessment costs
breakdown, maps identifying the assessment area, and the Notice of Public Hearing.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSIONS: The final assessment rates are lower than what was proposed at the Public
Improvement Hearing in 2020. Specifically, the final rates of the assessment match the rates assessed in 2021
and are shown below. The length or term of the assessment is 10 years. In accordance with past practice, the
City will accept partial or full payment without interest until 4:15 p.m. on November 14, 2022 rather than 30
days after the hearing (November 3, 2022). The unpaid balance with interest would be added to the property
taxes beginning in 2023.

OBJECTIONS AND APPEALS
Written and oral objections will be considered at the hearing. The City Council may adopt the assessments at the
hearing or at a subsequent meeting. Minnesota Statute, Section 429.061, states that no appeal may be taken as to the
amount of the assessment unless a written objection, signed by the affected property owner, is filed with the municipal
clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. An owner may appeal an
assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statute, Section 429.081, by serving notice of the appeal upon
the Mayor or the Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with
the District Court within (10) days after service upon the Mayor or the Clerk.
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. 2021-95, adopted under it, may apply to the City 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
10
Item 1.
2
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 no later than 4:15 pm on November 14, 2022. 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 before 4:15 on November 14, 2022 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
2023.
(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 31st of the year in which payment is made as long as
payment is made prior to November 15th; if the payoff occurs on or 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.
Auxiliary aids or other accommodations for individuals with disabilities are available upon request when the request is
made at least 96 hours in advance. Please contact Administration at 763-706-3610 to make arrangements.
