City Council Listening Session (Public Hearing)
The Saint Paul City Council will hold its annual Listening Session to hear Saint Paul residents’ perspectives on the Mayor’s 2025 proposed city budget. The City Council will be hearing details over the coming months around the proposed budget, and will vote to set the 2025 budget in December. Hearing from our constituents on their needs around this budget is a crucial step in the process.
Residents who are able are encouraged to join us in person at El Rio Vista Community Center on September 24th at 5:30 pm. There will be a brief presentation from the Council’s Chief Budget Officer on the proposed budget, annual process, and timeline. After that, there will be a facilitated public hearing to hear from the community, and each resident will be allowed 2 minutes to speak. Written comments can be submitted any time to contact-council@ci.stpaul.mn.us.
This event is free and open to the public.

- Property Tax Videos - Nobody likes paying bills, but we all do expect to pay for the goods and services that contribute to our quality of life. The city portion of your property tax bill may look like a big number, but if you do the math, you may find that the city's services cost you no more than those treats you choose to buy yourself every day. Watch "Hill of Beans" video.
- The Truth in Taxation Statement comes out in November and it's supposed to help you estimate your total property tax bill. But it never matches the actual tax statement that you receive in March. Find out why on "Your Property Tax Dollar" video.
