Property owners have the right to appeal their assessment. They are given the
opportunity to approach Council during the public hearing. Standard appeal forms have
been available at City Hall and will be available at the public hearing. Forms must be
completed, signed by the property owner and presented to the City Council prior to the

After the assessment roll is approved by the City Council, property owners have the
right to prepay the entire amount without interest for 30 days. Between November 16th
and November 27th, assessments may be paid with daily interest. Any remaining
amounts will be certified to Hennepin County on December 2nd. Assessments are
payable with property taxes over one-year and 5% interest through December 31, 2025.

particularly described in Exhibit A hereto attached and hereby made a part hereof. The total
amount of the proposed assessments is $96,259.28 as of September 23, 2024. The area to be
assessed includes properties throughout the entire City of Hopkins.
Questions or comments related to the public hearing may be emailed to
dbaker@hopkinsmn.com, made by phone at (952)-548-6366 or mailed to 1010 First Street South,
Hopkins, MN 55343. Comments submitted through these methods must be received by Tuesday,
October 15, 2024 at noon in order to be considered during the hearing. Please note that any emails,
letters and attachments you send to the City are likely considered public information and the City

[EXHIBIT A]
The proposed assessment roll is on file with the Deputy City Clerk and is available for
review. Property Owners may present their objections to proposed special assessments at this
hearing either orally or in writing. The Council will consider those objections. No appeal may be
taken as to the amount of any assessment adopted unless a written objection signed by the property
owner is filed with the Deputy City Clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the
presiding officer at the hearing. Appeal forms are available by contacting the City’s Finance
Department at 952-548-6366 or dbaker@hopkinsmn.com.
An owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes
Section 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the Mayor or City Clerk of the City of
Hopkins within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and by filing such notice with
the district court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor and City Clerk.
Under provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 435.193 to 435.195 and Hopkins
Ordinances Sections 2-117 to 2-120 the City may, in its discretion, defer the payment of this special
assessment for any homestead property owner by a person 65 years of age or older or retired by
virtue of a permanent and total disability for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments.
When a deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated for any reason
provided in that law and Ordinance, all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest become due.
The procedures to apply for such deferment are available from the Assessment Clerk.
The following information shall also apply:
1. The property owner shall have the right to prepay the entire assessment. Your
assessment may be paid without interest from October 15, 2024 to November 15, 2024, at City
Hall, 1010 1st Street South, Hopkins, Minnesota. You may at any time thereafter and prior to
November 27, 2024, pay to the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest
accrued from November 15, 2024 to the date in which such payment is made. Such payment must
be made prior to November 27, 2024 or interest will be charged through December 31 of the
succeeding year.
2. Partial prepayments of the total assessment have been authorized by Ordinance. An
owner may pre-pay any amount of the assessment but not less than the lesser of $100.00 or 25%
of the assessment, with interest accrued to the payment date, except that no interest shall be charged
if such partial payment is made by November 15, 2024. Partial prepayments can only be made
prior to November 27, 2024. Such partial payment should be made to the Finance Department
at City Hall, 1010 1st Street S, Hopkins, Minnesota 55343.
3. In the case where accrued interest applies, the rate of interest to be accrued, if the
assessment is not prepaid within the required time period, is proposed to be 5 percent commencing
on the date of adoption by the City Council. Assessments shall be payable in one annual
installment unless otherwise specified in Exhibit A.
4. The amount to be specially assessed against your property is shown on the statement
of assessment sent to you by mail.
This is an important hearing because this is your opportunity to object to the proposed
special assessment that affects your property. The Council may adopt the proposed special
assessment at the hearing. If you have any questions regarding this assessment, please call the
Deputy City Clerk at 952-548-6366.
