Attachment A <br />Roseville 2021 Legislative Priorities <br />Improve transparency of information property tax notices sent by counties <br />Currently, under state law, counties are required to mail property tax notices to every taxpayer <br />between November 10 and November 24. The form, among other things, must show the amount <br />of property taxes each taxing authority proposes to collect for the following year and indicate a <br />time and date for when public input about the levy and budget will occur. <br />State statutes prescribe in detail what needs to be shown on the property tax notice. The statutes <br />also require that the notice state that proposed taxes do not include levies (such as school bond <br />referendums) approved after the preliminary levy is established by the end of September. <br />In municipalities where local tax levies are approved, the tax notices sent by counties are <br />inaccurate and people will potentially receive a much larger tax bill than they were expecting. <br />In addition, when cities have a EDA or HRA levy, it does not show up under the relevant city <br />portion of the statement. Instead, it is displayed on separate portion of the statement under <br />“other taxing authorities”. <br />The City of Roseville supports legislation that requires property tax notices sent to taxpayers to <br />show impacts of voter levies that may be approved after certification of preliminary tax levies <br />and show city HRA and EDA levies under the relevant city portion of the statement rather <br />than under “other taxing authorities”. <br /> <br /> February 8, 2021 Draft <br /> <br /> <br />
