ABOVE: Minneapolis Property Tax Categories
Notice what happened from 1997 to 2011? Residential and commercial/industrial flipped. This isn’t just the work of the Minneapolis Board of Estimate and Taxation; it’s the work of Minnesota lawmakers, who have played a key role in slicing up that pie.
If you own a home in Minneapolis you’ve probably seen your proposed property tax for 2011—the statements started arriving in mailboxes this week. And if you saw an increase, it was probably in the double digits.
- Are you a Minneapolis homeowner?
- Are you angry, or is it a burden you’re glad to carry?
- Will you be at the hearing tonight? (11/18/201, Minneapolis City Hall Room 317, 6:05 p.m.)
- What do you want to communicate to the city?
We’d love to get your thoughts in the comments here, or in your Tumblr reblog.
My tax is up 12% AND the value of my house went down. Good grief. Also, I had not heard of the hearing tonight until JUST now – can’t make it. Seems suspicious to have received this data in the mail the day before the meeting. Hm.
