MN SF2581

Expands city special service districts to include residential and mixed-use properties, removing the restriction that limited districts to commercial, industrial, and public utility properties.

Removes the requirement that owners of 25 percent or more of the land area petition for a special service district, allowing petitions based solely on net tax capacity or service charge percentages.

Repeals Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 428A.01, subdivision 6, eliminating outdated language regarding special service district definitions.

Maintains requirement for public hearings and notice to affected property owners before ordinance adoption, with city clerk notification required within 30 days.
