Administrative Fines/Citations
The City of Rochester's Assessment Policy guides the Special Assessment process by establishing a consistent method of recovering and distributing the cost of public improvements and capital programming. The procedures used by the City for levying special assessments are outlined by Minnesota Statute Chapter 429, which provides “the cost of any improvement, or any part thereof, may be assessed upon property benefited by the improvement."
The Assessment Lookup shows pending or levied assessments for specific properties. Properties may be selected by address or parcel identification number (PIN). Assessment and payment information is continuously updated. Please call (507) 328-2900 if you have questions about the Lookup table.
Property owners can request a hearing on an administrative fine. There is a non-refundable charge of $25 to hold a hearing. The request must be made within 10 days of receiving the administrative fine charge.
Administrative fines/citations RCO 1-2 are written to enforce the existing snow removal ordinance and weed removal ordinance.
