BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937 -1900 0 FAX (612) 937 -5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council IMPORTANT FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: September 10, 1997 SUBJ: Property Tax Comparisons Mayor Mancino was at our staff meeting on Tuesday where I announced that on Friday the Minneapolis Star Tribune will likely print the Citizens League comparisons of property taxes within the metropolitan area on a $110,000 home. The report will show Chanhassen as fifth . hi hest Fortunately I was able to get a hold of Dean Trippler before the meeting and he assured g y me that an article would appear in the Villager this week that would tell the whole story in comparison to the abbreviated format that in all likelihood will be printed in the Star Tribune. A copy of the Citizens League report is attached. Key points, which hopefully Dean will bring to light, include: • shows that the City f Chanhassen ranks 30 . for its city tax o City Comparisons. The reports o Y This is an error and should be $3 71 instead of the $408 shown. At $3 71, we would rank 42 r1d out of the approximate 95 cities. [Note: Putting townships into the comparison was, in my own mind ludicrous. ] Included in the City of Chanhassen's tax calculations is the amount certified for Southwest Transit, i.e. a tax capacity rate of approximately 2.5%. In talking with representatives of the Citizens League, they agree that this should have been reported under the category of Special Districts where the tax has been recorded for most of the metro area. If you look at the column, "Special Districts," you will see that there was an approximate 32% reduction in that category from last year to this year. The same thing is true with the other opt -out cities and we will work with them to ensure that their tax is properly recorded in next year's statistics; and • Who's No. 1 ?: If you can tell me who will have the highest county rate in conjunction with a high school rate, I'll tell you who's going to be in next year's top ten. For 1997 Carver County has the highest tax rate of the seven metropolitan counties and School District 112 also is high (12 ) th . When this p henomenon occurs, it virtually makes no difference how g r Mayor and City Council September 10, 1997 Page 2 much the city levy is as you're likely to be in the top ten. This point is proven by the fact that all four cities within School District 112 are in the first quartile of total taxes. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the City of Carver does not show up in the tax comparisons. With a tax capacity rate of approximately 50 (ours is 25) their total tax on a $110,000 home is $2,500 — nearly $250 more than the current No. 1 (New Prague -- $2,263). Victoria sits at No. 4 and, again, Chanhassen is fifth. Ironically, Chaska has the lowest city tax. rate in the metropolitan area (92 out of 95), yet their total tax is still in the first quartile of highest taxes; and Disparity: If you throw out the townships and the anomalies such as Chaska who can subsidize 50% of their operating budget from electric utility revenues, you will find that there is very little disparity between all of the other cities. Without doing a detailed analysis, my guestimate is that over 75% of the cities lie within 10% above or 1.0% below $2,000 total tax; and • The Future: It's not good. I'm going to have Hoffman write this report next year. gAmgr \taxrates.e.doc C rill APPENDIX 2: TAX ON $110,000 HOMES FOR METROPOLITAN COMMUNITIES, TAXES PAYABLE IN 1997 i CITIES COUNTIES School Change % of Change % of County Community Dist.
