<br />RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES
<br />
<br />According to information provided by Ramsey County in May of this year, the median home
<br />value in Arden Hills will increase from $264,700 for 2014 taxes, to $295,100 for 2015 taxes
<br />which is an 11.5% increase in value compared to the county average increase of 9.4%.
<br />According to Ramsey County, assessed value had declined for five consecutive assessments, the
<br />markets have stabilized, and we are now experiencing an increase of residential, apartment, and
<br />commercial values.
<br />
<br />In order to evaluate the true impact to the residential property owner, you need to take into
<br />account the decrease in fiscal disparities (decrease of 2.4%) and the change in the taxable value
<br />(increase of 6.4% after exclusions).
<br />
<br />To help illustrate this, the following table shows the impact to the residential property owner due
<br />to the decrease in fiscal disparity dollars and changes in the assessed market value. This results
<br />in a net Tax Rate decrease of 5.8% before any levy changes are made.
<br />
<br />Assuming no City levy change, the home owner that has a median valued home (value going
<br />from $264,700 to $295,100) will see their City taxes going up by $46.33 or 6.6% as illustrated
<br />on the following chart.
