• Keats Avenue:  House Numbers 9651 to 9619 Keats Avenue.

• 96th Ave NW:  Intersection at Jeske Ave NW to House Number 9398

The proposed assessment roll is on file for public inspection in the Town Clerk’s office at Town Hall.  The total amount of the proposed assessment is $243,971.00.  Adoption of the proposed assessment by the Town Board may be taken at the hearing.  Written or oral objections to the proposed assessments by any property owner will be considered at the meeting.  No appeal may be taken as to the amount of the assessment unless a written objection, signed by the property owner, is filed with the Town Clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.

An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 429.081 by serving written notice of the appeal upon the Town Board Chair or Town Clerk within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Town Board Chair or Town Clerk.

Minnesota Statutes Section 435.193 through 435.195 authorize a municipality to defer the payment of assessments against homestead property owned by persons 65 years of age and older, or who are retired because of permanent and total disability under circumstances where it would be a hardship for such person to make the assessment payments. When deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided in that law, all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest become due.  Corinna Township has not adopted an ordinance authorizing deferrals of special assessments.
