Special Assessments

Special Assessments

Special assessments are a charge to properties for the cost of making public improvement that directly benefit the properties or to recover the cost of services charges, such as:

  • Unpaid garbage, sewer and/or storm drainage utility bills

    • For delinquent sewer and/or storm drainage utility bills, contact Worthington Public Utilities Customer Service at (507) 372-8680 to obtain any delinquent bill amounts that have not yet been levied against the property. Please make sure to request all accounts at the property address.

  • Snow, ice or weed removal from sidewalks or private property
  • Removal and care of diseased and/or surrounding trees
  • False alarms

Special Assessments for Public Improvements 

The Special Policy outlines the city's systematic assessment process for recovering and distributing the cost of public improvements, e.g., street reconstruction. To be assessed, a parcel must receive special benefit from the improvement. Questions? Contact the Accounting/Special Assessment Clerk at (507) 666-5020
