Notice: Important Information Regarding Assessment and Classification of Property This may affect your 2025 property tax payments. Notice is hereby given that the Board of Appeal and Equalization of the Township of Eagles Nest shall meet on May 11, 2024, Starting at 10 AM, at Eagles Nest Town Hall 1552 Bear Head State Park Road, Ely, MN 55731.

If you believe the value or classification of your property is incorrect, please contact your assessor’s office to discuss your concerns. If you are still not satisfied with the valuation or classification after discussing it with your assessor, you may appear before the local board of appeal and equalization. The board shall review the valuation, classification, or both if necessary, and shall correct it as needed. Generally, an appearance before your local board of appeal and equalization is required by law before an appeal can be taken to your county board of appeal and equalization.

St. Louis County unveiled a new online mapping tool that breaks the county into 1,600 evacuation zones, enabling residents to view the fire risk level specific to their community or neighborhood. The map follows the Ready, Set, Go model so people can prepare and - if necessary - evacuate. The City of Ely has also developed an online mapping tool, and has worked with the county to ensure the systems are compatible. The web page also includes tips for reducing fire risk to property, as well as checklists on what to have packed and ready should a person or family need to evacuate quickly.
