Title
Approval of HRA Property Tax Levy for Taxes Payable in 2022
Background
Since 1996, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has utilized a property tax levy to help
support its activities. In accordance with Minnesota Statute § 469.033, the HRA is seeking to levy the
statutory maximum, equal to .0185% of the estimated market value of all real estate and personal
property.
The property tax levy will allow the HRA to collect approximately $599,571 based on an estimated market
value of $3,240,926,104, an increase of approximately $35,472 more than last year. In terms of the impact
on taxpayers, the property tax levy would cost about $45.73 per year for a home valued at $247,200 and
$185.00 per year for a commercial property valued at $1,000,000. The revenues raised by the property tax
levy are directed towards ongoing and future redevelopment priorities.
State Statutes require the consent of the City Council, prior to the property tax levy becoming effective.
The City Council will consider this item at their meeting on September 27, 2021. As a final note, the
property tax levy will be certified to the County Auditor by September 30, 2021.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Authority approve the attached resolution, adopting a 2021 Property Tax Levy,
collectible in 2022.
