Please remember that all emergency responses from Sturgeon County will have a public service charge to the property once there was a emergency response to a property. Previous charges ranged between $1000 and $3000 to a property. Once the Village receives the invoice we will pay it and then request payment from the property owner in return. Be aware that late property tax payments will have this charge added as well as any late penalty charges. Please inform us of any address changes in correspondence or where your snowbird mailing address is if you intend on renting or decamping. Advising your tenants is your responsibility.
