We would like to take this chance to welcome you to Bellechester!  We are very happy to have this opportunity to serve with you.

Our city council meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Bellechester Community Center on the corner of County Road #16 and County Road #2. If there is something that you wish to talk to the council about, please call the clerk at 651-923-4093 and you will place on the agenda. Anyone and everyone are welcome to attend the meetings.

Garbage pickup is every Wednesday morning about 8 am.  Recycling bin is across town by GB Feed Store, we encourage every home to recycle whenever possible, as our rates are based on tonnage.

We bill monthly for water, sewer and garbage.  The fee is based on number of occupants in the home.  Contact the city to get your water/sewer/garbage service switched over to you.  Payments are due the last day of the month for that month.  Cut the coupons apart and send the current month’s slip with your payment each month. You can send your payment to the City of Bellechester, 299 Great Western Ave Bellechester MN 55027, or drop it off at the First Farm's and Merchant Bank in Bellechester in an envelope with the City of Bellechester written on it.  You can also have it automatically paid by filling out and returning an ACH form that is available on this site.

The current rate for water/sewer/garbage is:

1 person = $82.46

2 person = $85.71

3 person = $88.96

4 peron = $92.21

5 + person = $95.46

If you are planning a project such as an addition to your home, siding, roofing, decking we ask that you call the clerk to receive a building permit before your project begins.  The permit needs to be brought forth to the council for approval before it gets sent to the County for processing.

The City of Bellechester uses the Mail Balloting system for each election cycle. This means each person in your home that is able to vote at the Primary and General Elections will be mailed a ballot. If you choose to want to vote in person, you can do so by taking the ballot to your county auditor’s office.   Contact us our your county for a voter registration card.
