Roseville Finance Commission <br />Agenda Item <br /> <br />Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br />2012-2016 Property Tax Levy Summary <br />As noted above, the property tax levy is the primary funding source for a number of key operating funds, <br />but it’s also a primary funding source for the City’s infrastructure replacement programs. <br />Understandably, it’s one of the most followed benchmarks of any municipality. <br /> <br />The following chart depicts the property tax levy amount over the past five years. <br /> <br /> <br />Since 2012, the property tax levy has risen from $17.3 million to $19.5 million, an increase of <br />approximately 3.2% per year. A significant portion of this increase was driven by greater investment in <br />city infrastructure including parks, facilities, streets, and technology. This is represented by the capital <br />and debt categories. The tax levy dedicated towards day-to-day operations (including personnel costs) <br />increased 2.5% per year. <br /> <br />For added context, we can compare the levy increase over time to the local consumer price index (CPI). <br />This comparison is sometimes used to demonstrate the impact from higher taxes relative to other cost <br />increases that homeowners might face.
