City of Roseville — 2009 Budget <br />A similar comparison can be made using the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) for state and local <br />governments. The IPD measures the amounts paid for service inputs specific to governmental <br />operations which oftentimes includes supplies, materials, or other costs that are unique and therefore less <br />comparable to a household's purchase. A 5 -year summary of the tax levy increases as compared to the <br />IPD is shown below. <br />For most of the last 5 years, the increase in the tax levy has outpaced the inflation rate. This is largely <br />the result of higher -than inflation personnel costs and other service inputs such as fuel and energy - <br />related costs. In addition, the City has had to increase its levy to offset reductions in state -aid. <br />However, as depicted in the second chart, Roseville compares much more favorably to other <br />governments who have faced similar cost increases in their service inputs. <br />Another benchmark that is oftentimes used is a comparison of local property taxes among comparable <br />cities. Although the comparison somewhat masks local needs and preferences, it nonetheless provides a <br />general picture of each City's tax burden. <br />2008 Local Property Taxes <br />City <br />Savage <br />City Taxes <br />$ 19136 <br />Brooklyn Center <br />19032 <br />Inver Grove Heights <br />892 <br />Richfield <br />891 <br />Cottage Grove <br />825 <br />St. Louis Park <br />817 <br />Shakopee <br />750 <br />Andover <br />738 <br />Maplewood <br />724 <br />Fridley <br />713 <br />Oakdale <br />710 <br />Shoreview <br />553 <br />[Roseville <br />549 <br />* For cities within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, serving populations between 25,000 — 45,000; and for a home valued <br />at $235,000 <br />13 <br />
