     469.206 Hazardous property penalty. 

    A city may assess a penalty up to one percent of the market 
 value of real property, including any building located within 
 the city that the city determines to be hazardous as defined in 
 section 463.15, subdivision 3.  The city shall send a written 
 notice to the address to which the property tax statement is 
 sent at least 90 days before it may assess the penalty.  If the 
 owner of the property has not paid the penalty or fixed the 
 property within 90 days after receiving notice of the penalty, 
 the penalty is considered delinquent and is increased by 25 
 percent each 60 days the penalty is not paid and the property 
 remains hazardous.  For the purposes of this section, a penalty 
 that is delinquent is considered a delinquent property tax and 
 subject to chapters 279, 280, and 281, in the same manner as 
 delinquent property taxes.
