7. Truth in Taxation 2023 Payable 2024
Presenter:
Dr. Parks
Description:

"Truth in taxation" (TnT) is a process first enacted by the legislature in 1988 to enhance public participation in Minnesota’s property tax system.

The TnT process consists of these three components:

  • Each local government is required to formally adopt a "proposed levy" in September for the upcoming year; the final levy, when ultimately adopted, may not exceed the proposed levy.1
  • County auditors generate parcel-specific notices of proposed taxes for all parcels of property based on the proposed levies.
  • Each local government is required to hold a public meeting after the notices come out where budget and tax issues are discussed, and where public testimony must be allowed, prior to adopting its final levy.

Description:
At the September School Board Meeting, the preliminary 2024 Levy was approved at the maximum level.  The final property levy must be certified as a specific amount through a vote of the school board.  I am enclosing summary pages of the levy limitation and certification form.  I am recommending we certify the levy at $1,389,143.79 for the 2024 Payable 2025 levy which is an 11.1 percent increase on the 2023 payable 2024 levy.
