GENERAL FUND REVENUES
The modified accrual basis of accounting, as described in the general fund summary, is used to
record general fund revenues. The city has several sources from which it derives revenue:
~ PROPERTY TAXES: Taxes applied to all taxable property within the city's boundaries are
the primary revenue source for the city. This includes current and delinquent property
taxes and the fiscal disparities tax, which is based on new commercial and industrial
property valuation growth in the metropolitan area The city sets its property tax levy at
a level (when combined with other expected revenues) to adequately cover the general
fund operating budget.
~ LICENSES & PERMITS: Licenses and permits include revenues received from businesses
and occupations for activities conducted within the city.
~ INTERGOVERNMENTAL• These are shared revenues generally received from the state of
Minnesota.
LGA: Local Government Aid was established in 1971 as a form of property
tax relief. The state uses a distribution formula to calculate the
upcoming year's LGA and notifies each city of its share by August 1.
HACA: Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid provides aid to local
governments that levy property taxes for lost tax base due to class
rate reductions. The Minnesota Department of Revenue notifies
cities of their HACA distribution by September 1 of each year.
Beginning in 1887, Local Performance Aid (a permanent reduction in
the city's HACA) was awarded foe having a system of performance
measures in place. HACA was discontinued for 2002 and future
years.
MSA: Municipal State Aid is distributed through the state's highway user
distribution fund and is used for construction and maintenance of city
highways and streets.
FlRE AID: The city receives state aid for fire services which is passed through to
the firefighter's relief association.

out to the city of Lauderdale for firefighting services.
~ FlNES & FORFEITS: These are revenues received from penalties imposed for the violation
of laws or regulations.

Tax Appeals Available
Property owners can contest their 2003 market value or classifiication of their property
(on which their~2004 taxes are based) by filing with the Minnesota Tax Court on or
before April 30, 2004. The Tax Court. has two divisions -the regular division, whose
decisions may be appealed, and the small claims division, whose decisions are final. If
the property is homestead, the appeal can be made to either division. Property owners
were previousiygiven.the opportunity to appeal their values administratively, when ,
value notices were mailed in March or at the County Board of Equalization in June.
The only other way that 2004 taxes can still be changed is by reducing the property tax
levy itself. By attending the TNT hearing, taxpayers can recommend reductions in each
taxing authority's 2004 tax levy. If the final levies are reduced from the proposed levies,
property taxes will be reduced accordingly. .,
Property Tax Relief
In 2001, the legislature provided for enhanced property tax relief. This will be especially
important given the expected increases in property taxes for 2004. We will be
emphasizing the availability of this program more as we get closer to releasing final
2004 tax statements:
The legislature provides several different types of property~tax relief. The homeowner's
and renter's rebates are given to taxpayers whose property taxes are. disproportionate
to their income. A targeting refund is also available for homeowners whose taxes
increase by more than 12% from the prior year. No income limits apply to this refund.
Property owners file for the refunds using state form M1-PR that is sent out with state
income tax instructions. The M1-PR form can also be obtained several ways. They are:
• at post offices, libraries and most banks;
• calling the Minnesota Department of Revenue at (651) 296-3781
• on the Internet at: http://www.taxes.state.mn.us;
• or by writing to:
