City Services

Please be aware that, as the property owner, you are responsible for all fees and services at this address until the property is transferred to a new owner. If you choose not to pay for these services now, they will be assessed to your property taxes.

New Property Owners

New property owners should note that if they are purchasing or have recently purchased a home within the City of Ramsey, they may want to verify that the previous owner paid the final utility bill. Any outstanding utility bill (water, sanitary sewer, stormwater, streetlights, and recycling) will be certified to your property as a special assessment. If your property has an outstanding final utility bill, you may want to contact your title company to determine if any funds were held in an escrow account.

Landlord/Renters

The property owner is ultimately responsible for city services. Landlords can request that a secondary copy of the renter’s bill be sent to them so they can monitor that the bill is being paid.

Delinquent Utility Bills

State Statute (444.075) allows the City to certify to the property taxes any outstanding utility bills as a special assessment. Certification occurs in November each year for delinquent utility bills.

Bankruptcy

If you are filing bankruptcy and wish to have your city services listed as part of the bankruptcy filing, you must list the City of Ramsey as a creditor on the filing.

Foreclosure

If your home is in foreclosure, the city services remain your obligation until the financing company takes possession of the property. Please ensure that you remind your financing company of this.

Water Service Problems

If you experience issues with your water service, please contact the City of Ramsey Public Works Department at 763-427-8254.
