Sign up for City COVID-19 updates.
Mayor Jacob Frey actions: Mayor Frey issued a public health emergency declaration March 16 in response to COVID-19 and has issued a series of emergency regulations.
City Council actions: The City Council has restructured its committees to address the COVID-19 crisis. Read more about the new structure.
2020 Notices of Valuation and Classification: The Assessor’s Office is mailing the 2020 Notices of Valuation and Classification.
The notice includes your 2020 estimated market value, which will be used to calculate your 2021 property taxes. The 2020 value was determined using sales from October 2018 through September 2019 as required by state statute. If you disagree with the market value, the first step is to contact the appraiser responsible for your neighborhood. Their phone number and email address are on the notice.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, appraisers will perform desktop reviews rather than onsite inspections for property owners who wish to appeal their market value. Photos and supporting documentation can be submitted to the appraiser for review and consideration. Visit the Assessor's website for more information.
City services updates: Find information about impacts to City services, such as changes to meetings, service counters, solid waste and recycling and more.

To slow the spread of COVID-19 across the state, Gov. Tim Walz directed Minnesotans to stay at home and limit movements outside of their home beyond essential needs from 11:59 p.m. Friday, March 27 to 5 p.m. Friday, April 10.
Read more about the Minneapolis Police Department's approach to enforcement.
Do not call 911 to report people who are not staying home during the City’s stay-at-home order. Please call 311 if you have concerns about the voluntary compliance of the stay-at-home order involving a business, organization or a group gathering in a public space. We will route all calls to the appropriate City staff for potential action. The local stay-at-home order was put in place by Mayor Frey, following the state directive by Gov. Walz, to try to keep the spread of COVID-19 from overwhelming our health care system

Crews have made changes to streets so people taking part in outdoor activities can avoid spreading COVID-19. The changes provide more protected space for pedestrians and bikes so people can stay at least 6 feet from others.
The streets affected are:
-
Plymouth Avenue North – Enhancements to the protected bikeway, originally planned for later this spring, are taking place sooner.
-
West 36th Street, from Dupont Avenue to Bde Maka Ska – Crews are enhancing protected spaces for walking and biking.
-
26th Avenue South between 9th Street to Franklin Avenue – Enhancements are being made along the curve of the street to better support walking and biking.
-
Main Street from the Third Avenue to Stone Arch Bridge — The eastbound lane is closed in conjunction with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board’s full closing of Main Street from Hennepin Avenue to Third Avenue.
In addition to Main Street’s closure, the Park Board closed parts of West River Parkway until April 10 and intends to close other parkway segments to motor vehicle traffic in the coming days; visit the Park Board's website for details.
The City is exploring other opportunities to provide more recreation space along streets. Those changes may take place after these initial enhancements are complete.

Now more than ever, it’s important that we are all counted in the census. Completing the census means that not only are we counted as a part of the community that we live in and contribute to, but we are provided with resources for programs and services that are necessary to meet our needs.
Many core needs such as funding for healthcare, first responders, education and childcare are all determined by census data and participation. We all matter, we all add value and we all count. Take the #WeCountChallenge and help us spread the word.
The public comment period for the Neighborhoods 2020 draft program guidelines on neighborhood programming and funding to support the City’s 70 neighborhood organizations in 2021 and beyond has been extended to July 15, 2020.
The City has extended the comment period on the guidelines to give people more time to review and provide feedback as we face the COVID-19 crisis. The draft program guidelines follow the vision to preserve Minneapolis’ neighborhood organizations and create equitable communities in which all people are valued, communities are engaged and leadership mirrors the diversity of the city.
