OP <br />Payable 1987 <br />Property Tax Data <br />Prepared by the Minnesota <br />Department of Revenue <br />The payable 1987 property tax data <br />for cities over 2,000 population is in <br />two parts. The property tax data for <br />the seven metropolitan counties <br />(Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, <br />Ramsey, Scott, and Washington) is not <br />directly comparable to the non-metro- <br />politan counties as a result of the Fiscal <br />Disparities Law. Table I pertains to the <br />metropolitan counties; Table II pertains <br />to the 80 non-metropolitan counties. If <br />a city is in two counties, one of which <br />is metro and one non-metro, the data <br />is under the county which has the <br />majority of the city's assessed value. <br />Metropolitan Area <br />A summary of the data for the 93 <br />metropolitan cities with population over <br />2,000 is in Table I. <br />The highest average mill rates in the <br />metropolitan area were in New Prague <br />with 146.667, Savage with 140.302, <br />and Farmington with 139.413. The low- <br />est average mill rate was in Edina with <br />94.673. <br />Per capita statistics for the metro- <br />politan area, payable 1987, show that <br />the average taxable value per capita is <br />$7,036. The range is from a high of <br />$16,623 in Wayzata, $15,738 in North <br />Oaks, and $14,323 in Edina, to a low <br />of $3,006 in Watertown. The average <br />per capita for gross taxes levied is <br />$920, with highs of $1,930 in Wayzata, <br />$1,626 in North Oaks, and $1,572 in <br />Eden Prairie; and a low of $378 in East <br />Bethel. The average homestead credit <br />per capita is $155, with highs of $221 <br />in Deephaven, $205 in Golden Valley, <br />and $205 in North Oaks; and a low of <br />$103 in Lexington. The net property <br />tax burden, taxes payable in 1987, for <br />the 93 metropolitan cities was <br />$1,553,087,421, or $763 per capita. <br />The per capita net tax burden in Min- <br />neapolis was $939 and in St.Paul, $698. <br />Table I. Metropolitan <br />Area <br />Table I gives information for the 93 <br />metropolitan cities. It shows the popu- <br />lation, values, mill rates, gross taxes, <br />credits, and net tax burden for property <br />taxes payable in 1987. <br />The population for each of the 93 <br />cities is the latest Metropolitan Council <br />estimate, which represents the popula- <br />tion as of April 1, 1987. The cities are <br />in descending population order. Follow- <br />ing the population, the tables show five <br />values. The assessed value is first, <br />followed by the tax increment value <br />and contribution value which, when <br />subtracted from the assessed value, <br />gives the taxable value. <br />For those cities containing power <br />line assessed value, the value is not <br />shown separately but has been sub- <br />tracted to arrive at the taxable value. <br />The final value is the fiscal disparity <br />distribution value. This value, times <br />the governmental unit's payable 1986 <br />mill rate, yields the 1987 fiscal disparity <br />distribution tax. The 1987 distribution <br />tax was subtracted from the govern- <br />mental unit's payable 1987 tax levy to <br />Table I <br />Assessed Value <br />1983 $13,727,538,890 <br />1984 $14,210,873,441 <br />1985 $14,896,308,501 <br />1986 $15,681,849,143 <br />1987 $16,648,327,195 <br />Total Taxes <br />1983 $ 1,392,779,330 <br />1984 $ 1,528,350,909 <br />1985 $ 1,591,696,044 <br />1986 $ 1,738,334,590 <br />1987 $ 1,872,167,883 <br />Property Tax Credits <br />1983 $ 284,214,069 <br />1984 $ 276,792,798 <br />1985 $ 283,660,373 <br />1986 $ 309,238,025 <br />1987 $ 319,080,464 <br />Average Mill Rate <br />1983 101.459 <br />1984 107.548 <br />1985 106.852 <br />1986 110.850 <br />1987 . 112.454 <br />determine its local levy. The local levy, <br />divided by the taxable value for local <br />purposes, yields the local mill rate. <br />In many cities more than one total <br />mill rate exists, therefore the mill rates <br />for governmental subdivisions are aver- <br />age rates. The major local mill rate is <br />the total mill rate which applies to the <br />majority of value in the city. <br />The taxes shown by county, city, <br />school district, and special taxing dis- <br />trict pertain to the local levy on local <br />taxable value. Tax increment levies are <br />separate as well as contribution levies. <br />The contribution assessed value for <br />taxes payable in 1987 was taxed at the <br />area-wide rate of 112.238 mills. The <br />total tax burden on all property in a city <br />is the sum of the various levies plus <br />the power line levy if it exists for the <br />city. <br />Non-Metropolitan Area <br />A summary of the 122 non-metropol- <br />itan cities with populations over 2,000 <br />is in Table II. <br />Percent Change <br />1983-1984 <br />1984-1985 <br />1985-1986 <br />1986-1987 <br />Percent Change <br />1983-1984 <br />1984-1985 <br />1985-1986 <br />1986-1987 <br />3.52 percent <br />4.82 percent <br />5.27 percent <br />6.16 percent <br />9.73 percent <br />4.14 percent <br />9.21 percent <br />7.70 percent <br />Percent Change <br />1984-1985 <br />1983-1984 —2.61 percent <br />1985-1986 92.4802 Perceperce: <br />1986-1987 3.18 percent -' <br />Percent Change <br />4983-1984 ' -6.00 percent <br />1984-1985 ' 41.65 percent <br />1985-1986 - 3.74 percent '1 <br />1986-1987 445 percent <br />Minnesota Citi <br />T <br />
