Wheaton, Minnesota 56296

Minnesota + North Dakota + South Dakota

Wheaton can be found where Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota meet. It is centrally located to experience the unique geography of the Red River Valley, a Continental Divide, and the land left behind the long-melted glacial Lake Agassiz.

Not just agriculture!

Although many of Wheaton’s jobs are agricultural, the town hosts countless successful, entrepreneurial ventures.

The Wheaton Economic Development Authority supports both large and small businesses.

Close to Lake Traverse!

Wheaton offers walleye fishing, goose, pheasant, duck, and deer hunting – and, more recently, turkey and coyote. Blogger Ivars Krafts has captured awesome pictures of the wildlife outside of Wheaton, featured on his blog.

Adoption by the council of the proposed assessment may occur at the hearing.

You may at any time prior to certification of the assessment to the County Auditor pay the entire assessment on such property, with interest accrued to the date of payment, to the City of Wheaton. No interest shall be charged if the entire assessment is paid within 30 days from the adoption of this assessment. You may at any time thereafter, pay to the City of Wheaton the entire amount of the assessment remaining unpaid, with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which such payment is made. Such payment must be made before December 31 or interest will be charged through December 31 of the succeeding year. If you decide not to pre-pay the assessment before the date given above the rate of interest that will apply is 3.00 percent per year.

Written or oral objections will be considered at the meeting. No appeal to district court may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a written objection signed by the affected property owner is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. The council may upon such notice consider any objection to the amount of a proposed individual assessment at an adjourned meeting upon such further notice to the affected property owners as it deems advisable.

Under Minn. Stat. §§ 435.193 to 435.195, the council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of this special assessment for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older, one retired by virtue of a permanent and total disability, or a member of the National Guard or other reserves ordered to active military service for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessment has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided in that law, all amounts accumulated plus applicable interest become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law may, within 30 days of the confirmation of the assessment, apply to the city clerk for the prescribed form for such deferral of payment of this special assessment on his/her property.

An owner may appeal an assessment to district court pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 429.081 by serving notice of the appeal upon the mayor or clerk of the city within 30 days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the district court within ten days after service upon the mayor or clerk.

Dated: October 26, 2026
