City of Roseville — 2004 Budget <br />A summary of the tax levy increases as compared to the local inflation rate is shown below. <br />As is shown above, over the past five years, the City's tax levy has increased less than the inflation rate. <br />This means Roseville taxpayers are paying less in real dollars (adjusted for inflation) for the same level <br />of City services. Similar results are realized when making the same comparison over the last 10 years. <br />Another benchmark that is oftentimes used is a comparison of local property taxes among various cities. <br />Although the comparison somewhat masks local needs and preferences, it nonetheless provides a <br />general picture of each City's tax burden. <br />The following chart shows a comparison of 2003 local property taxes for similar sized cities within the <br />Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. <br />2003 Local Property Taxes <br />city * <br />Brooklyn Center <br />City Taxes <br />$ 924 <br />Cottage Grove <br />736 <br />Inver Grove Heights <br />716 <br />Oakdale <br />687 <br />Richfield <br />682 <br />St. Louis Park <br />637 <br />Maplewood <br />636 <br />Blaine <br />621 <br />Andover <br />578 <br />Lakeville <br />577 <br />Shoreview <br />503 <br />Fridley <br />501 <br />Roseville <br />450 <br />* For cities within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, <br />serving populations between 25,000 — 45,000 <br />14 <br />
