The proposed assessment rolls are on file for public inspection at the City Clerk's Office. Notices are
being mailed to all property owners.
Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting. No appeal may be taken as to the amount
of an assessment unless a signed, written objection is filed with the City Clerk prior to the hearing or is
presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The City Council may, upon such notice, consider any
objection to the amount of a proposed individual assessment at an adjourned meeting, upon such further
notice to the affected property owners, as it deems advisable.
A property owner who has properly objected to the assessment may appeal an assessment to district
court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or
City Clerk of the City 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 City Clerk.
The City of Fridley has adopted Resolution No. 14-1995 deferring special assessment payments for
senior citizens. The City Council may defer the payment of special assessments for any homestead
property owned by a person 65 years of age or older, or for persons retired due to permanent and total
disability for which it would be a hardship to make the payments
