Payable 1997Class Rates range from .45% to 4.6 %. Class Rates for selected property classes are shown on this table: CLASSIFICATION MARKET VALUE CLASS RATE Residential Homestead 1 st $ 72,000 1.00% over $72 2.00% Residential Non - Homestead all 2.30% Residential Rental (Apartments) 3 or fewer units 4 or more units 2.30% 3.40% A ricultural Homestead House /Garage & Site 1 st $ 72,000 1.00% over $72 2.00% 1st over over $115,000 $115,000 $115 0.45% 1.00% 1.50% Agricultural Portion under 320 acres over 320 acres Agricultural Non - Homestead all 1.50% Seasonal Cabins Non - commercial 1st over $ 72,000 $72 2.00% 2.50% Commercial /Industrial 1st $100,000 3.00% over $ 4.60% 2. Multiply the MARKET VALUE by the State Legislature- mandated percentages (CLASS RATES shown above) based on the CLASSIFICATION OF THE PROPERTY (these percentages are uniform statewide). The result of this computation is called the TAX CAPACITY. a. Example: Market Value of $100,000 classified as Residential Homestead. Calculate the Tax Capacity: 72 x 1.00% = 720 28.000 x 2.00% = 560 100 1 Total Tax Capacity for a $100,000 Residential Homestead is $1,280. 14 County based on the unique combination of city, school district, and misc. districts. (See pages 7 -10.) 4. To calculate Tax Capacity (TC) based tax: Multiply the TAX CAPACITY of the property by the LOCAL TAX RATE. (See pages 7 -10) Example Calculate the Net Tax (excluding special assessments). 1 x 139.624% _ $1 5. To calculate Market Value (MV) based tax: Multiply the taxable MARKET VALUE of the property by the MV REF RATE (applicable to City of Norwood Young America (former Norwood city parcels only), SD #108 & SD# 110 only for payable 1997). (See pages 7 -10) Example Calculate the MARKET VALUE BASED TAX: 100,000 x .11439% _ $114.39 6. To determine the Total Net Tax add the dollar results of Example 4 + Example 5. Example Determine TOTAL NET TAX amount: $1,787.19 + $114.39 = $1 7. To calculate a specific taxing district's portion of the total tax, multiply the TAX CAPACITY by the LOCAL TAX RATE for that taxing district, and multiply the MARKET VALUE by the MV REF RATE for that taxing district.(See pages 5 -6.) "NOTE: The above examples are based on the Tax Rate of 139.624% and MV Rate of .11439% for District Code 6001 in the City of Norwood Young America (former Norwood parcels only). 15 k i Tax Increment Financing Tax increment financing permits a City or development authority to finance real estate development costs or public improvements with the increased property taxes that are paid as a result of the development. At the time that a tax increment district is created, the value of the properties in the district is certified as the district's "original value ". The property taxes that are paid on the property value increase above the original value are "captured" by the city rather than being paid to the county, school, special taxing districts, and the city government. These additional property taxes or "tax increments" are used to pay for the development costs. For districts created after May 1, 1988, the tax increment is restricted to the tax generated by the tax rate that was in effect at the time the tax increment district was established. Tax increases in a tax increment district resulting from tax rate increases occurring after the district is established are distributed as excess tax increment to the taxing districts (county, city, and school) which increased their tax rates. Fiscal Disparities The Fiscal Disparities Program was established in 1968 by a Citizen's League study group and was enacted in 1971 by Minnesota Legislature (M.S. 473F). Due to court challenge which resulted in a decision by Minnesota District Court, later reversed by the Supreme Court, the fiscal disparities program was not put into place until 1975. The fiscal disparities law provides for 40 percent of the seven county metropolitan *area's growth in commercial and industrial property value since 1971 to be contributed to a metropolitan area property value p ool.. The pool of property value contributions is then distributed among all communities In the seven county area which Includes Carver County. The distribution is based on a community's population and how its P er capita market value of all taxable property ("fiscal capacity") compares with the average for the seven county area. A community with a below average fiscal capacity receives a somewhat larger distribution from the pool while a community with an above average fiscal capacity receives somewhat less. A community's property tax base excludes its property value contribution to the area P ool but includes its property value distribution from the area pool. A percentage of the property tax on each P commercial/industrial parcel is 9 based on the seven- county area -wide rate which is computed annually. GLOSSARY AD VALOREM TAX - Tax based on the value of a property vailable to ualified agricultural properties AGRICULTURAL PRESERVES PROGRAM - A program q which provides annual property tax credits. AREA -WIDE TAX RATE - The one metro-wide tax rate which is applied against the fiscal disparities portion of the commercial/industrial tax base; the area -wide rate times the area -wide tax base produces the distribution tax. The rate is determined by dividing the total distribution tax (Area -Wide Levy) by the total final contribution tax capacity. (Contribution Value). the market value of a p iece ASSESSED MARKET VALUE - County /City Assessor's determination of P property. A SSESSMENT DATE -The date as of which the assessments are based. The valuation and A classification of a property is based upon its status on January 2 for taxes payable in the following year for Real Estate and Personal Property. Taxes payable on Manufactured Homes are based on the assessment on January 2 of the payable year. CLASSIFICATION OF PROPERTY - Identifies the type of property, such as residential, agricultural, commercial etc. based upon the use of the property. CLASS RATE - Statutory percentage applied to the taxable market value of a parcel based on the parcers classification. Class rates are uniform throughout the state. FISCAL DISPARITIES - Program (M.S. 473F) which provides for tax -base sharing within the seven county metro area. Each municipality contributes 40% of the growth of its commercial/industrial tax base since 1971 to the seven county pool. This pool is then redistributed based on relative fiscal capacity. A percentage of the property tax on each commercial/industrial parcel is based on the seven - county Brea wide rate. GREEN ACRES This is a supplement to the agricultural statute that provides additional tax and special assessment deferment to qualifying agricultural property. HOMESTEAD - For property tax purposes, homestead is a tax benefit granted to property owners (or qualifying relatives) who are MN residents and who own and occupy their home as their primary residence. You must own and occupy by Dec 1 to receive the benefit for the following payable yea HOMESTEAD AND AGRICULTURAL CREDIT - Calculated on an individual parcel as the differen between a parcel's gross tax capacity and its net tax capacity multiplied by the local tax rate. HOMESTEAD AND AGRICULTURAL CREDIT AID (HACA) - Replaces homestead credit and agricultural credit. The state gives this aid directly to local units of government. INITIAL TAX RATE - Tax rate before reduction for disparity reduction aid. Calculated by dividing a taxing district's levy, less the amount it will receive from fiscal disparities; by the taxable tax capacity of the taxing district. LEVY - The amount of money that a taxing district needs to raise through property taxes. LOCAL TAX RATE - Rate applied to the tax capacity of a property to calculate the tax. Formerly known as tax capacity rate, mill rate. MARKET VALUE Estimated Market Value is what the Assessor has estimated the property would sell for if it were to be sold in an arm's length transaction. A limit is imposed on how much the Taxable Market Value of residential, agricultural, and seasonal property can increase over the previous year's value. The limit does not apply to increases in value due to new improvements. MARKET VALUE REFERENDA RATE Rate applied to the taxable market value of a property to calculate the market value referenda tax, for certain referendum levies which are based on market value instead of tax capacity. PROPERTY TAX REFUND State- reimbursed refund to homeowners and renters based on income, or homeowners with a tax increase of more than 12% (excluding increases o due tQ improvements). SD REF MV - Market Value used to talc SD MV based tax. Adjusted by 45% for classifications using 45°x, tax class rate in tax capacity calculations. SOLID WASTE SERVICE FEE County fee used to fund various Solid Waste programs required to protect our environment. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT Improvements (such as streets, etc.) as certified by each municipality, which directly benefit the property are shown as a separate item on the tax statement. The amount is based on how much the property benefits from the improvement, not on the value of the property. STATE AIDS - The state contends that individual taxes would be higher than shown on tax statements if it were not for the local government, education and disparity reduction aids provided to the taking districts. The presumed amount of aid is indicated for each parcel. TAX CAPACITY - A parcers taxable market value multiplied by the class rate for that type of property. Formerly known as assessed value. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (T1F) - Districts created by municipalities to create fund improvements which increase market values of the properties in the district. The taxes generated by the increase d � - - 1 1 -11 • •�lue are "ca~ttar -d" b• t' a T district to finance project development costs.
