Vicki You may have found one example, but that is only one example. Now I will give you a differing one. A rental unit in my association is only taxed about $300 more than the non-homestead units just like it. Both units worth about $180,000. And just in case you may want to claim its not correct, I checked with the county on the tax rates for these units and had it confirmed. Ron Leurquin Nokomis East

Last week, one Listmember wrote that her house is worth $300,000 and she pays $1,500 in property taxes. A $300,000 rental property would pay roughly $6,000 in property taxes, and a small business property worth $300,000 would pay $12,000 in property taxes. Onerous taxes aren't enough for Minneapolis, to get rid of the last few private property owners, they need to add regulatory penalties. The message is clear: Minneapolis does not want private businesses of any kind. REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
