The property must be homestead property. <br />2. The owner must be retired by virtue of a permanent and <br />total disability, and in the case of husband and wife, <br />one person must meet this requirement. The applicant <br />shall be presently receiving Retirement Survivors <br />Insurance or Disability Insurance under the Social <br />Security Act, 42 U.S.C., Section 301, as amended, or any <br />other retirement insurance or disability insurance. <br />3. The owner will make application for deferred payment of <br />special assessments on forms prescribed by the Ramsey <br />County Auditor and will make application to the City <br />of Little Canada on forms provided by the City. <br />4. Theapplicationfor said defezment must be filed with <br />the City prior to the adoption by the City of the <br />resolution adopting the assessment roll. <br />5. The City Council will consider each application on <br />an individual basis. However, the Council's general <br />policy is to grant special assessment deferments when <br />the property owner has filed an affidavit with the City <br />stating that the annual payment for the special assessment <br />exceeds two percent of the adjusted gross income of the <br />owner as determined by the most recent Federal tax return. <br />Page 4 <br />
