S.F. No. 170 - Deferment of Special Assessments
Author: Senator Dick Day
Prepared by: Daniel P. McGowan, Senate Counsel (651/296-4397)
Date: March 15, 2007


Minnesota law currently authorizes counties, cities and townships to formulate and adopt a policy by which, at the discretion of the local governmental unit, special assessments may be deferred on the homestead property owned by a person who is 65 or older or who is permanently and totally physically disabled and for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. This bill would add National Guard members or reservists who have been ordered into federal active military service to this hardship assessment deferral statute. This deferment of the special assessment only means that the special assessment is postponed but not forgiven, and would have to be paid at some future date.
