DATE: November 22, 1995
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Gordon L. Hughes
Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING
Enclosed is a packet concerning the 1996 Edina City Budget. This packet as well as a
summary of the budget will be available to everyone attending the November 29, 1995,
Truth in Taxation hearing. We will also have copies of the full budget for those individuals
who desire more detailed information.
TRUTH IN TAXATION /BUDGET ADOPTION PROCESS
The official Truth in Taxation hearing is scheduled for November 29, 1995. If the Council
wishes, the hearing may be continued until December 15, 1995. The Council may not
adopt the final budget and final property tax levy at the Truth in Taxation hearing. After the
close of the Truth in Taxation hearing, the Council must announce the time and place of
the meeting at which they will consider adoption of the final budget and final property tax
levy. This budget adoption meeting may not occur less than 24 hours after completion of
the Truth in Taxation hearing.
If the Council concludes on November 29 that an adequate opportunity has been afforded
to all desiring to be heard, it should proceed to adopt a motion closing the hearing. The
Council should then formally establish a time for the consideration of the final budget and
property tax levy. Staff would recommend that this consideration be given at the Council's
regularly scheduled meeting of December 4, 1995. If the Council wishes, it may further
continue the final budget and property tax levy consideration until the December 19, 1995,
City Council meeting. The Council need not consider the budget and the levy at a regularly
scheduled meeting, although this has been the Council's past practice. If the Council
wishes to continue the Truth in Taxation hearing until December 15, 1995, the final budget
and final levy would presumably not be considered until December 19, 1995.
Please call if you have any questions concerning the attached materials. We will be happy
to prepare additional materials at your request.

Q. What is the dollar amount of the proposed City expenditures for 1995 and
1996?
A. 1995 1996
$15,723,228 $16,504,290
Q. How much of an increase is this from the current year?
A. $781,062 or 4.97%
Q. How much do taxes need to increase from 1995 to support the 1996 City
Budget?
A. 6.91 %. A substantial portion of the tax increase this year is due to a reduction in
a couple of funding sources: a. $100,000 reduction in the State paid Homestead
and Agricultural Credit (HACA) and b. $50,000 reduction in municipal court fines.
Q. What are the major categories of City Spending?

How are taxes determined for my home?
A. For an owner - occupied house or condominium: The first step is to multiply the 1995
assessor's estimated market value (EMV) of your home by the "class rates" imposed
by State Law. The result is known as your home's "tax capacity" (i.e. its taxable
value). (The class rates for owner - occupied housing are 1 % for the first $72,000 of
market value and 2% for the market value in excess of $72,000.) The next step is to
multiply the tax capacity by the extension rate (i.e. tax rate) calculated for each taxing
jurisdiction based upon their proposed expenditures. The result is your tax bill.
Example
$150,000 Home in the Edina School District
$ 72,000 x 1% _ $ 720
$ 78,000 x 2% $1,560
Tax Capacity 2,280
Extension Rate x 123.696%
Tax $2,820.27
Plus - School Bond Levy
Market Value $150,000
Referendum Rate x.12527%
School Bond Tax $187.91
Total Taxes on Home $3,008.18
Q. The City's Tax Rate increased 4.69 %, but my tax increase was more. Why did
this happen?
A. Other factors can contribute to a change in the City portion of your tax bill:
a. Changes in the value of your property in relation to other properties
b. Minnesota's progressive tax rate structure on residential property
While the City's tax rate increased 4.69% for 1996, it decreased 3.14% for 1995.
Example
$100,000 single family home with a 3% increase in value has a 4.69% increase in Tax
Capacity and a 9.59% increase in City Taxes
Tax Capacity Calculation
1994 Value 100,000 = (72,000 x 1.0 %) + (28,000 x 2.0 %)
_ (720) + (560)
= 1,280 Tax Capacity
City Tax Calculation
= Tax Capacity x City Tax Rate
= 1,280 x 15.577%
= 1995 City Taxes of $199.39
Tax Capacity Calculation
1995 Value 103,000 = (72,000 x 1.0 %) + (31,000 x 2.0 %)
_ (720) + (620)
= 1,340 Tax Capacity
City Tax Calculation
= Tax Capacity x City Tax Rate
= 1,340 x 16.307%
= 1996 City Taxes of $218.51
Value Increase = 3% Tax Capacity Increase = 4.69% City Tax Increase = 9.59%
Q. The assessor's market value of my property seems too high. Can this be
lowered?
A. Taxes payable in 1996 are based upon the assessor's valuation of your property on
January 2, 1995. This value cannot be changed. The 1996 valuation of your
property will be sent to you this winter and will be the basis for your 1997 tax bill. That
valuation may be discussed with or appealed to the assessor upon receipt and /or
appealed to the Board of Review (City Council) in April.
Q. Where does my tax dollar go?
