Bill > HF1095

This bill establishes a procedure for creating municipal street improvement districts in Minnesota. It defines key terms like "governing body," "improvements," "maintenance," and "street improvement district." The bill authorizes municipalities to impose a "street improvement fee" to pay for street improvements and maintenance within a designated district. The fee must be apportioned uniformly to all developed parcels in the district based on factors like estimated market value, tax capacity, or front footage. The bill also outlines the process for adopting a street improvement plan, including public notice and hearing requirements. The revenue from the fees must be used only for projects within the district, and the fees can be collected for up to 20 years. The bill exempts unimproved parcels and properties owned by institutions of public charity from the fees, and provides an appeals process for affected landowners.
