Snow Emergency season is here!

When the snow falls in Minneapolis, the City may declare a Snow Emergency to clear the roads of snow and ice. There are special parking rules during a Snow Emergency, so it’s important to stay informed.

Sign up for email and text alerts, automated phone calls, and alerts on Facebook and Twitter. The City's Snow website and Snow Emergency hotline, (612) 348-SNOW, are also great ways to stay informed and have a tow-free winter.

City has updated its website

The new MinneapolisMN.gov is easier to navigate, more accessible for people with disabilities, and has a fresh new design.

Web addresses have changed, so use the new menus at the top of the page to browse the site and update your links and bookmarks.

Find your next pet on Facebook

Your next pet may be just a mouse click away.

Each week, Minneapolis Animal Care & Control posts a "Pet of the Week" on the City's Facebook page and Twitter account. You might just find the dog or cat who’s the perfect addition to your family.

Understanding the City’s 2012 budget and your property taxes

The City Council approved the City’s 2012 budget on Wednesday, Dec. 14, which includes no increase to the City’s property tax levy. The budget maintains the City’s focus on public safety and also includes a major street-improvement program and a new, consolidated effort to close the racial jobs gap in Minneapolis.

While the Mayor and City Council held the property tax levy flat, some homeowners may still see an increase or decrease in their 2012 property taxes, because there are multiple factors that could affect your property tax bill. Learn more, see Truth in Taxation.
