3) Why are payments for the Storm Sewer System Charge mailed to Minneapolis?
The City of Saint Paul banks with US Bank and they have several locations in St. Paul. However, the location for processing lockbox payments is located in Minneapolis so payments are sent there.
4) I sent a payment for an assessment in December. Why was it returned to me?
Answer: At the end of each calendar year the City is required to “certify” to Ramsey County a calculated amount of principal and interest owed by any property with unpaid city assessments. This amount is placed on the county property tax statement mailed to each property owner the following spring.
Payments received after November 15th for certified assessments are no longer payable to the City of Saint Paul, therefore they are returned to the payee.
