2001 Laws Special Session Ch. 5, Art. 3, Sec. 91 superseding Minn. Stat. 8 275.065, subd. 3 Minn. Stat. S 275.065 lVlinn. Stat. S 275.065, subd. 5a 2001 Laws Special Session Ch. 5 Art. 3 Sec. 47 amending Minn. Stat. S 275.065, subd. 5a 22 A subsequent hearing is required for the official adoption of the final levy and budget, but the city is not required to schedule the date of this hearing through the county auditor. E. Parcel-specific notic~s Due to the late conclusion of the 2001 session, the parcel-specific TNT notices will be delayed. By Dec. 14,2001, counties will prepare and send, by first class mail, notices of proposed property taxes to each property owner listed on the current assessment rolls. The parcel-specific notice will be simplified to give the counties more time to reprogram their computer systems. The required form of the notice should minimize taxpayer concerns about city levy increase due to the loss of state aid. The modified 2002 parcel-specific notice will contain itemized property tax information for each local unit of government based on the proposed 2002 property tax levy. However, the only comparative information on the notice will be the current total pay 2001 tax liability (the combined city, county, school, and special district taxes due). Therefore, although the city levy will increase in many communities due to the loss of HACA and/or LOA, a direct comparison of the 2001 actual city tax and the 2002 proposed city tax will not be reported on the notice. In the fall of 2002, the parcel-specific tax notice will return to the layout used from 1997 to 2000, which shows the current year's taxes payable and the proposed taxes payable for the following year for each taxing jurisdiction. In addition, the form shows the following: or The degree to which local spending decisions have changed the property's tax burden; and lJ1 The degree to which other factors, including legislative actions such as changes in class rates, state aids, and other factors like property value assessments, have changed the property's tax burden. F. Advertising and posting requirements Like the hearing requirements, advertising and posting requirements are waived for 2001. If your city chooses to hold TNT hearings, the following advertising and posting requirements should be followed: The advertisement must include notice of the city's intent to adopt a property tax levy and budget for 2002 and the time, date, and location of the hearing for participating local government units. The notice must now also include a phone number for taxpayers to call if they have questions about the notice. The notice must include information on the effect your proposed levy will have on the city tax rate (see section C above), which should be available from your county. Only the initial hearing must be adve11ised because the date and time of the League of Minnesota Cities
