HELP with utilities statue

[jentz]

I read here months ago about a statue that stated something?? any amenities, utilities when the county,city forced hook ups, that the charges could not excede the increase of property value of said improvment.

Can anyone remember this and where I can find it? THANKS

There is a law about assessments in general that says the assessment for improvements cannot exceed the increase in value. You may have to go to court over this. And there is a time limit so don't let them jerk you around until the time is run out. Happened here in Rochester.

Here is the league of minnesota cities guide. Tells all about it. You have to appeal to district court. And do it fast. Get a lawyer for all affected parties.
