Background:
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 275.065, subdivision 1, all counties must approve a proposed budget and a maximum property tax levy for 2025 by September 30, 2024.
The 2025 maximum tax levy is $1,045,829,900, a 5.5 percent increase compared to the 2024 adopted levy. The budget proposed by the County Administrator is $2,950,885,900. The parcel-specific notice of proposed taxes sent to taxpayers in November is based on this proposed levy. While the final approved budget may be higher or lower than the one proposed, the final tax levy adopted in December cannot exceed the maximum tax levy which is adopted by this resolution. The County Administrator presented the proposed 2025 budget on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
