3. KEY FINANCIAL STRATEGY: Carver County Wheelage and Sales Tax – Review and provide feedback to Carver County commissioners and staff regarding the proposed wheelage and sales tax increase.Updated in November 2016 based on information available from the MN Dept. of Vehicle Services and MN Dept. of Revenue.
Counties with Sales/Wheelage/Transit Taxes
Feds & State Leave Budget Gap for Roads & Bridges
The County is facing a $128 million budget gap to complete long-term projects designed
to improve traffic flow and safety, reduce congestion, and expand roads for growth and
new development.
The following issues related to state and federal funding have caused this budget gap:
• The Metropolitan Council recently changed its regional solicitation process for distributing
federal funds to focus more on transit, non-motorized transportation, and preservation
of roadways, as opposed to expanding and building new roadways. That change virtually
excludes Carver County from winning federal transportation funds through this process.
• The State Highway Investment Plan does not include any funds to expand State roads in
the County. It shows zero investment in Highways 5, 7, 41, 101, and 212 in Carver County.
Closing the $128 million budget gap to fund 22 high priority projects over the next 24 years
will require a different approach from the County.
Better Roads Ahead: Winning Federal/State Funds with a County Solution
The County will realize a significant advantage in winning federal and state grants for high priority projects if it commits to leveraging
these grants with its own tax revenue. For example, Scott County received $40 million in Federal and State funds for one of its road
projects after launching its own sales tax in 2015.

Wheelage Tax
CARVERCOUNTY
To meet the Federal/State budget gap for high priority
road and bridge projects, the Carver County Board
is considering a proposal that includes:
• Transportation Sales Tax: ½-percent tax on retail
sales, expected to generate $102 million over 24
years.
• Wheelage Tax: Increase from $10 to $20 per
vehicle per year, expected to generate $26
million over 24 years.
The map shown here indicates which counties in
Minnesota have a Wheelage Tax, Transportation
Sales Tax, or a Counties Transit Improvement Board
(CTIB) Tax.
• 51 counties have a Wheelage Tax. Included
are 11 counties that have both a Wheelage Tax
and a ½-percent Sales Tax and 5 counties with a
Wheelage Tax and a ¼-percent Sales Tax.
• 26 counties have implemented a Local Option
Sales Tax. This includes the 6 other metro
counties: If you shop in any of the other metro
counties, you are paying this sales tax.
Similar to Scott County, Carver County’s greatest
need is for additional funding for roadways. All of
the funding generated would be applied to 22 high
priority road projects. (See map and project list on
Page 2.)

Long-Term High Priority
Transportation Projects
Local Sales Tax and Wheelage Tax Increase
Would Fund 22 Projects Over Next 24 Years
In addition to needing $20 million for major pavement rehabilitation projects (green dots on the map), the Public Works Division
has identified 22 high priority road projects* to be completed over the next 24 years. These projects, numbered on the map and
listed below, are not in priority order. Rehabilitation and construction projects total $417 million with inflation figured into the cost.
