Despite the proposed increase, many property owners may actually see a reduction in the amount they pay, thanks to declining property values.
Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter Eagan city officials are weighing a 3.3 percent preliminary tax levy increase in 2013—a move that will help the city keep up with inflationary costs and pay for a roughly 1.5 percent pay increase for all city staff. The proposed increase would bring the total amount levied in 2013 to $28,322,017, a nearly $900,000 increase over the $27,425,081 levied in 2012. The city's 2013 tax levy and budget was the focus of discussion at a special meeting held by the Eagan City Council at City Hall last Wednesday.

Taxpayers will save about $5.5 million over ten years starting in 2014.
Taxpayers in the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan School District will be getting a break courtesy of a successful bond refinance presented to the board Monday night. Capitol improvement bonds approved in 2004 were put up for "refunding" (the bond market equivalent of "refinancing" in real estate) in late July by Ehlers & Associates. Due to bid offers with very low interest rates, taxpayers will save about $5.5 million between 2014 and 2024, or a reduction of about $500,000 a year off of the annual tax levy. It does not impact the district's budget. Jodie Zesbaugh of Ehlers said this was the third try for the refund. Prior attempts had been met with higher rates and didn't meet the board's minimum requirements. She described the 10 bids…

The district's total property tax levy is slated to decrease, and home values continue to decline so the district will receive more equalization aid.
Most property owners in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district shouldn’t see their school property taxes increase next year, according to preliminary information from the district. “It’s a pretty good story to tell,” said board member Rob Duchscher. The district’s school board on Monday unanimously adopted a $75.76 million preliminary tax levy limit, which is about $2.65 million, or 3.38 percent, less than last year’s. That total is the maximum the state will allow; property taxes make up nearly 23 percent of the district’s annual revenue. In addition to the levy decrease, property values in the district also decreased for the third straight year, by about $13.7 billion, or 6.44 percent; this means the district qualifies for more…

I haven't gotten a pay raise in 5 years and had to take a pay cut to boot, and now I am expected to pay for a raise for all city workers. I understand that costs are going up; mine have been going up, also. I have had to refinance my home and restart my 30-year mortgage just to afford my monthly mortgage payments, which never used to be a problem for me. I think the city should look into ways to … more ›
