Vicky: Yes, absolutely. It's not just Minneapolis: Minnesota's property tax system should be more like its neighboring states. Remember that MN's property taxes are DOUBLE those of Wisconsin and Iowa - not good for attracting business.
Ron responds: When I lived in Milwaukee I paid 2,400 in taxes on a 65,000 home. I then moved to Mpls, bought a house for 79,000 and paid only 1,100 in taxes. I was just checking my old hood in Milwaukee recently and found my old home has 3,600 in taxes and is valued at 110,000. My house here was worth 200,000 and I paid about 1,700 in taxes. I think your math is way off, but thanks for making us aware of some of MN tax issues. Ron Leurquin Nokomis East REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
