<br />The tax rate is calculated using the City’s Local Taxable
<br />Value on property divided by the levy. The levy is made
<br />up of the General Fund property tax levy needed to bal-
<br />ance the budget and the City’s required debt levies on
<br />its outstanding bonds. The table below shows the impact
<br />on the 2022 tax rate on various home values in the City.

<br />Neighborhood Watch was launched in 1972 by
<br />the Na�onal Sheriff’s Associa�on as a vehicle for
<br />ci�zens to organize themselves and work with
<br />law enforcement. The concept traces its roots
<br />back to the days of colonial se�lements when
<br />night watchmen patrolled the streets.
<br />The Washington County Sheriff’s Office manages
<br />the Neighborhood Watch program for the ci�es
<br />and townships that are serviced by the Sheriff’s
<br />Office for law enforcement services. These
<br />communi�es include:
<br />A�on, Baytown Township, Birchwood,
<br />Dellwood, Denmark Township, Grant, Hugo,
<br />Lake Elmo, Lake St. Croix Beach, Lakeland,
<br />Lakeland Shores, Landfall, Mahtomedi,
<br />Marine on St. Croix, May Township, Newport,
<br />Pine Springs, Scandia, St. Mary’s Point, S�llwater
<br />Township, West Lakeland Township, Willernie
