Bill > SF1998

This bill authorizes municipalities in Minnesota to establish street improvement districts and impose a street improvement fee to pay for the construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of municipal streets, including paving, lighting, sidewalks, and other infrastructure. The bill outlines the process for a municipality to adopt a street improvement plan, apportion the fees based on the relative share of vehicle trips, and collect the fees for up to 20 years. The fees must be used only for projects within the designated district, and municipalities are prohibited from imposing special assessments on properties within the district. The bill also exempts unimproved parcels and properties owned by institutions of public charity from the street improvement fees, and provides a process for landowners to appeal the fees to the district court.
