Title: Re: [Winona] Property Taxes Over Last Four Years: Star Tribune Article
Its
not quite that easy to explain. In the City of Winona, the total value that is
exempt is about 30%. Exempt values are calculated every six years while taxable
values are adjusted annually. The amount of exempt property in the remainder of
the county would be less. The universities are a substantial portion of that
exempt value. These parcels pay no property taxes.
There
are thousands of acres, mostly in Whitewater and Elba Townships, that are owned
by the DNR. Those properties do not pay regular property tax but rather the
state reimburses local units of government at the rate of 3/4 of 1 per cent of
value. These values are adjusted every five years. Currently, Winona County, the
townships and the school districts share about $16.50 per acre on these lands.
That amount is a little less than non-homestead farm property and about 25% more
than homestead farmland would pay.

Interesting information. Overall, approximately
what percentage of the total value of property in Winona County is exempt from
property taxes?

In
Winona the growth in exemptions hasn't so much been in religious
organizations but rather in groups that refer to themselves as non-profit
charities.
Examples would be Volunteer Services, Rock Solid,
Winona State University Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and Home and
Community Options. I'm not passing judgment on whether they are deserving or
not but just the fact that this sector is growing here as well as in other
counties.
