City of Roseville — 2010 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 />% Change in Tax Levy & IPD <br />10� � <br />200 2006 200^ 2008 2009 <br />Tcxx Lei -v ❑ IPD <br />For the last 5 years, the increase in the tax levy has outpaced the inflation rate. This is largely the result <br />of higher -than inflation personnel costs and other service inputs such as fuel and energy - related costs. <br />In addition, the City has had to increase its levy to offset reductions in state -aid. However, as depicted <br />in the second chart which incorporates the IPD, Roseville compares much more favorably to other local <br />governments. Over the past 5 years, the tax levy has increased approximately I% more than the IPD. <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 />2009 Local Property Taxes <br />City * <br />Brooklyn Center <br />City Taxes <br />$ 19117 <br />Savage <br />19081 <br />Richfield <br />999 <br />Inver Grove Heights <br />902 <br />St. Louis Park <br />862 <br />Cottage Grove <br />812 <br />Shakopee <br />767 <br />Maplewood <br />765 <br />Andover <br />759 <br />Oakdale <br />712 <br />Fridley <br />674 <br />Shoreview <br />591 <br />[Roseville <br />577 <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 />
