SF 223 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Municipal dedication fees requirements modification

SF 223 modifies Minnesota's rules for how cities collect fees related to park and open space requirements when approving new residential subdivisions. It allows municipalities to accept cash payments instead of dedicating land, with the cash fee capped at 10% of the subdivision's fair market value. The bill requires that cash payments be used *only* for acquiring, developing, or improving parks, trails, or open space (not for operations), and mandates public records showing exactly how the funds were spent. This directly affects developers building new subdivisions and local governments managing land use planning.
