PROPERTY TAXES (OWNER OCCUPIED ONLY-SEE CALCULATE TAXES DOCUMENT FOR OTHERS)

Property tax is one source of revenue that supports the day to day operations of your City.  The Minnehaha County Auditor’s Office collects all property taxes and then distributes the taxes to the appropriate entity.  The City receives about 20.86% of an owner-occupied residential property tax bill.  Property tax revenue is a general fund revenue supporting police, fire, streets, snow removal, parks, pool and more.  Property tax is one of the major sources of revenue for any city and without this we could not run your city.
