Saint Paul City Clerk
15 Kellogg Blvd W# 310
Saint Paul, MN 55102
City Clerk:
I am writing this letter to appeal the 2009 Right-of-Way Assessment on my property at
1845 Hoyt Ave E in Saint Paul, MN. I am appealing the assessment on the grounds that
a11 the assessments, in addition to my rising property taxes, are causing me a financial
hardship.
With the cost of everything rising, I have had to a11ow friends to live in my house and pay
my mortgage, while I have moved in with family out of town. Having moved out of
town, I have also had to accept a much lower paying job. It is a struggle just to keep up
with all the bills.
I find it hard to justify the rising costs of assessments and property taxes when the actual
value of my house continues to steadily decrease year after yeaz. I am not sure what sort
of help you can offer, but wanted to take the proper steps to make my appeal official.
Please let me lrnow what I need to do to reduce the Right-of-Way Assessment on my
property. Tha�c you.
Sincerely,
��`�� �����e�
