Payable 1988
<br />Property Tai Data
<br />Prepared by the Minnesota Department of Revenue
<br />Cities over 2,000
<br />The payable 1988 property tax
<br />data for cities over 2,000 popula-
<br />tion is in two parts. The property
<br />tax data for the seven metropolitan
<br />counties (Anoka, Carver, Dakota,
<br />Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and
<br />Washington) is not directly
<br />comparable to the non -
<br />metropolitan counties as a result
<br />of the Fiscal Disparities Law.
<br />Table I pertains to the
<br />metropolitan counties; Tables II
<br />pertains to the 80 non -
<br />metropolitan counties. If a city is
<br />in two counties, one of which is
<br />metro and one non - metro, the data
<br />is under the county which has the
<br />majority of the city's assessed
<br />value.
