Review 2019 Changes in Property Tax Base, Legislative Changes, and Other <br /> Budgetary Impacts <br /> Finance Director Miller briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for <br /> Council Action (RCA) and related attachments dated July 16, 2018. He noted <br /> that Roseville's overall market value(tax base) is projected to increase 5.6%. The <br /> median-valued, single-family home is projected to increase 7.6%; from $236,900 <br /> to $254,900. In the aggregate, the market value for the median single-family <br /> home has risen faster (7.6%) than all other property types (5.6%). This means that <br /> holding all other factors constant, there will be a shift in the overall tax burden to <br /> single-family homeowners. This is in contrast to a year ago, when the tax burden <br /> shifted in the opposite direction. For example, a 2019 tax levy increase of 3.5% <br /> will result in an estimated 5.9% tax increase on the median valued home. <br /> Finance Director Miller also highlighted the 2018 State legislative session, noting <br /> relatively little new legislation actually became State Law. Only one known <br /> change has been identified that will have a substantive impact on the City's 2019 <br /> budget and tax levy. It involves an increase in the Police & Fire PERA employer <br /> contribution rate from 16.20% of salary to 16.95%; this results in a budget & tax <br /> levy impact of approximately $44,000. The employee contribution rate also in- <br /> creased. There were a number of other legislative pieces that will likely come into <br />
