Tyler and Rebekah Kent <br />14816 Flay Ave. N. <br />Hugo, MN 55038 <br />612-655-6595 <br />tyler.p.kent@gmail.com <br />Property Identification Number: 2003121210033 <br />City of Hugo <br />14669 Fitzgerald Ave. N. <br />Hugo, MN 55038 <br />Dear City Council, <br />This document serves as written objection to payment of the assessment of $5200 against the <br />property listed above as paid by the undersigned parties. <br />We object to payment of the assessment on the grounds that this home is sold and closing <br />completed on October 4, 2021; the date of this hearing. As a result, we as the selling parties <br />are forced by the title companies to pay the assessment based on, a pending status. The <br />assessment is a tax based on increased value to the home due to the roadway improvements. <br />Those roadway improvements had not been completed at the time of sale contract or the time of <br />closing. Therefore, those improvements were not considered in the offer or the appraisal of the <br />home. <br />Furthermore, the assessment assigns tax liability beginning calendar year 2022. Given this <br />information, we are being forced to pay a tax on a home that we do not own in a tax year after <br />the sale of the home. <br />Because a title company is withholding this amount out of closing and because the home was <br />under firm contract at the time this was determined, I have no opportunity to negotiate the cost <br />with the buyer. Therefore, I ask that the city disperse the funds back to us upon receipt from the <br />title company. I can be contacted at the phone number and/or email listed above or the <br />forwarding address listed below. This assessment should then be reassigned to the new <br />homeowner who will be responsible for the home taxes in the year these will be assigned. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tvler Kent <br />14993 Drake St. NW, Andover, MN 55304 <br />Rebekah Kent <br />
