districts. There are different watershed districts in the City that have
different rates. Not having looked at them recently, the highest watershed has
typically been the Minnehaha Watershed District and if you were comparing
across watersheds, that could be part of the reason.
The second one is limited market value.

checked and both of Carol's suggested answers seem to apply in my own
situation.
Regarding one of the city council member and their neighbor. The limited
market value difference was only $16,500 less then their neighbor and yet the
neighbor was paying $3,475 more in property taxes. That one still leaves me
scratching my head.

During my search last night I also found home a owner that paid over $30,000
in property taxes per-year. They happen to be a doctor and it would appear they
can likely afford to pay such high taxes.
