<br />Impact from Market Shifts
<br />Total Change and Fiscal Disparities
<br />
<br />
<br />The City’s share of Fiscal Disparities (line 4) has increased, and the City’s Tax Capacity (line 6)
<br />has increased, which results in a 6.5% decrease in the tax rate.
<br />
<br />Fiscal Disparities runs on a one year lag and is based on the levy amounts that jurisdictions
<br />submitted for 2015 (or last year). Jurisdictions that increased their levies will receive more,
<br />while those that kept their levies flat or fairly small will see decreases.

<br />RECAP OF RAMSEY COUNTY FINANCE DIRECTORS MEETING
<br />
<br />On August 13, 2015, Ramsey County held a meeting with its Finance Directors from all taxing
<br />districts. The Assessor is optimistic that our real estate markets are much improved and still
<br />getting better.
<br />
<br />Residential markets experienced the most positive improvements, with buyer activity improving,
<br />there are fewer foreclosure and short sales. Apartment markets continue to be very healthy and
<br />there is substantial construction of new apartments across the Twin Cities metro area.
<br />
<br />Commercial and industrial markets have recovered most of the loss in value from the recession.
<br />County-wide Commercial/Industrial aggregate values have increased 2.2%. Ten years of tax
