RESOLUTION IMPOSING A SERVICE CHARGE FOR SPECIAL SERVICE
DISTRICT NO. 1 FOR TAXES PAYABLE 2021
Proposed Action
Conduct a public hearing for the proposed special service charge for Special Service District No. 1.
Following the public hearing, Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to
approve the Resolution Imposing a Service Charge for Special Service District No. 1.
Overview
On July 6, 1998, the City Council approved Ordinance 631 establishing a Special Service District
No. 1. The Special Service District is subject to Minnesota Statutes 428A. The Special Service
District Advisory Board has requested City Council consideration of levying a special service charge
payable in 2021 and approval of the budget for the period of July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.
The allocation of the total service charge to the downtown properties is based on the net tax capacity
of the commercial values of the properties in the district. The Special Service District Advisory
Board is recommending that the service charge payable to remain at zero for 2021.
The resolution states that a minimum charge of $100 and a maximum charge of $6,000 will be
charged per property owner. Due to keeping the service charge to zero, the minimum charge is not
applicable for year 2021.
Minnesota Statute 428A.03 requires that a public hearing must be conducted each calendar year
with notices mailed to each business organization subsequent to the service charge. After the
public hearing is conducted, and the resolution is adopted, the amounts will be certified to the
Dakota County Treasurer/Auditor for collection with taxes payable in 2021.

parcels in the District based upon net tax capacity. If the charge that would otherwise
be imposed on a property owner is less than the $100.00 minimum charge, the charge
against other parcels in the District shall be reduced based on net tax capacity.
2.04. Distribution of Total Service Charge. The distribution of the total Service Charge
among properties within the District and subject to the Service Charge may vary and

extent that (i) commercial/industrial property tax classification rates increase or

SECTION 3. Collection of Service Charges
3.01. Collection. The Service Charges shall be payable and collected at the same time and
in the same manner as provided for payment and collection of ad valorem taxes. For
purposes of determining the appropriate tax rate, taxable property or net tax capacity
shall be determined without regard to captured or original net tax capacity under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 473F.08.
3.02. Penalty and Interest. Service Charges made payable in the same manner as provided
for payment and collection of ad valorem taxes, if not paid on or before the applicable
due date, shall be subject to the same penalty and interest as in the case of ad valorem
tax amounts not paid by the respective date.
3.03. Due Date. The due date for the Service Charge payable in the same manner as ad
valorem taxes is the due date given in law for the real or personal property tax for the

resolution; or (ii) the next ensuing year’s levy of taxes and service charges shall be
decreased by a corresponding amount.
SECTION 5. Recording
