The 2007 Citizens League Property Tax Review shows how property taxes went up or down from 2006 to 2007 in 219 communities across Minnesota (Tables 1 and 2). For 2007 taxes only, we have expanded that number to 343 communities and from 2007 forward will include at least one city from each county in Minnesota (Tables 1a and 2a). In addition, Table 1a and Table 2a show the level of taxes levied by each local government and what taxes would be without state credits.

Each of the 219 communities for which we have calculated property taxes in 2006 and 2007 have an individual profile that shows how taxes changed from year to year. Just use the drop-down menu below to find the community that you are looking for. As mentioned in the October Minnesota Journal article, we are also including rankings based on city “clusters” for the first time. These clusters group cities by similar characteristics and were developed by the Minnesota House of Representatives Research Department and the League of Minnesota Cities (see Table 3 below). These clusters are based on census data every 10 years, so we plan to see what changes occur when the 2010 census data is available.

The 2008 Citizens League Property Tax Review shows how property taxes went up or down on average value homes from 2007 to 2008 in 343 communities across Minnesota.

Table 1 ranks the 117 Twin Cities Metropolitan Area communities and Table 2 ranks the 226 Greater Minnesota communities. This includes all cities, townships and unorganized territories with populations of 2,000 or more. Fourteen Minnesota counties do not have a city with a population of 2,000 or more. In these cases, we include the largest city, so that each county in Minnesota is represented. To see the level of taxes levied by each local government (city, county, school, etc.) in 2008 and what taxes would be without state credits, look at Tables 1a and 2a. All rankings are based on effective tax rate.

Each of the 343 communities for which we have calculated property taxes in 2007 and 2008 have an individual profile that shows how taxes changed from year to year for the community as a whole and for each local government (city, county, school and special district). Just use the drop-down menu below to find the community that you are looking for. This year we have added a graphic to each profile that shows you the composition of the tax base in each community. This shows how much of the market value in a given community is residential homestead (the focus of our review) versus commercial-industrial (C/I) and other types of property.

In Table 3, we also include rankings based on city clusters. These clusters group cities by similar characteristics and were developed by the Minnesota House of Representatives Research Department and the League of Minnesota Cities. These clusters are based on what can be culled from census data, so we plan to see what changes occur when the 2010 census data is available.

Use the October 2007 Minnesota Journal article,for a breakdown of what information is presented in our property tax tables. An analysis of the 2008 data is forthcoming in the December issue of the Minnesota Journal.
