Street and Utility Improvements
There are areas within the City of St. Paul Park that does not have city water and sewer services, nor streets with curbs, gutters, or storm sewers. These type of improvements are funded 100% through special assessments to adjoining properties.
How are special assessments calculated?
For assessments charged on a per linear foot basis (street, storm, curb, gutter) is calculated at 100% of the short side of your property as platted. For assessments charged on a per unit basis (water, sewer, lift station) is calculated at per buildable lot.
If I live on a corner, will I have special assessments for both streets?
Yes. Corner lots are assessed 100% of the short side plus 25% of the long side.
