Property tax sources and method

Where each number on the property-tax pages and in the Tax Lab comes from, how it is calculated, and what it leaves out.

Every number on the property-tax pages comes from an official record, a calculation from those records, or an assumption you set in a calculator. No dollar figure was generated by AI.

The core formula

City levy ÷ city tax base = city tax rate

$2,179,043 local levy ÷ $9,197,371 local tax capacity = 23.692%

The average homestead comes from the newest official Department of Revenue homestead data, payable 2025. $6,555,471 of residential homestead tax capacity ÷ 1,369 homesteads ≈ $4,788.51 of tax capacity. The bill, the Tax Lab, and the articles all apply the certified payable-2026 city rate (23.692%) to that same capacity, about $1,135 a year for the city share. The home is a payable-2025 yardstick because the Department of Revenue has not yet published payable-2026 homestead totals. The rates are all payable 2026.

In the Tax Lab, acres needed equals the tax capacity a goal requires ÷ the tax capacity each acre adds and keeps locally. About 6.6% of the certified levy ($153,744 of $2,332,787) is met by the metro fiscal-disparities distribution rather than the local base.

The split by who levies it and the two levy figures

The bill split uses official payable-2026 rates from Anoka County's “Pay 2026 Final Tax Rates” table. The city rate is 23.69% (certified), the county 31.85%, and special districts 2.55%. School rates depend on the district. St. Francis (ISD 15) charges 21.65% of tax capacity plus 0.060% of market value. Anoka-Hennepin (ISD 11) charges 13.03% of tax capacity plus 0.184% of market value. Elk River (ISD 728) charges 24.50% of tax capacity plus 0.255% of market value. The market-value part is the district's voter-approved referendum and debt levies. A real parcel statement still differs because state credits vary by parcel. Corrected in October 2026. The split previously left out the market-value levies and the Anoka-Hennepin district.

For history, the Department of Revenue's payable-2025 average local net-tax-capacity rates for Nowthen were city 22.26%, county 30.25%, school district (blended across Nowthen parcels) 18.89%, special districts 2.55%, total 73.95%. The rate-comparison chart in the history section shows two of the three districts serving Nowthen, St. Francis schools (ISD 15) and Elk River schools (ISD 728), separately. Anoka-Hennepin (ISD 11) is not yet in that history. These are average local net-tax-capacity rates as published by the Department of Revenue. School districts also levy on referendum market value (voter-approved operating and debt levies) which a net-tax-capacity rate line does not capture. Which school line applies to a household depends on which district the parcel sits in.

The Anoka County table shows the levy each jurisdiction certified; the Department of Revenue portal shows the final levy total after small post-certification adjustments. For Nowthen the two differ by under $250 in every overlapping year (for example, payable 2024: $1,936,176 certified vs $1,936,251 final). Both are recorded, under distinct fact keys, and this page says which one each number uses. The city’s own 2026 adopted budget book prints the total levy as $2,332,789 ($2 more than the $2,332,787 the county certified). Both documents are official; the budget pages on this site use the budget book’s figure and this page uses the certification.

Fiscal disparities, payable 2025 actuals: Nowthen contributed $369,918 of commercial-industrial tax capacity to the metro pool and received a $139,197 distribution levy back. The Tax Lab's 40% contributed, 60% retained split is a rough scale simplification, not a simulation of these actuals.

State aid (Local Government Aid)

Local Government Aid is general-purpose state aid certified to each city by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The state’s LGA formula weighs each city’s tax base against its measured revenue need; Nowthen’s adjusted tax capacity now exceeds its formula need, so its certified aid is $0.

Each year’s LGA certification file also restates the prior aid year. Where the files state different figures for the same aid year, this page shows the latest certification; every certification is kept in the database attributed to its source file. The pay-2020 file certified Nowthen’s 2020 LGA at $46,891; the pay-2021 file restates 2020 at $48,751 after a legislative revision. The table shows the restated $48,751.

Limits of these numbers

  • The fiscal-disparities adjustment is rough. Actual fiscal-disparities calculations involve base years, area-wide tax rates, distribution formulas, and changes in local market value per capita. This tool does not simulate those second-order effects.
  • Commercial-industrial value is taxed at Minnesota’s class 3a rate (Minn. Stat. § 273.13, subd. 24): 1.5% on the first $150,000 of a development’s market value and 2.0% above, with one first-tier amount per commonly-owned contiguous development. At multi-acre development scale almost all value falls in the 2.0% tier.
  • Rate effects assume the city levy stays constant. In reality, future levies may change because costs, projects, and service demands change.
  • Other service costs are not modeled here. They may exist, but this tool will not invent numbers without a local source.
  • For average-home and equivalent-home examples this page uses the official payable-2025 Department of Revenue homestead aggregate as a proxy ($6,555,471 of residential homestead tax capacity across 1,369 homesteads, about $4,789 each) applied to the payable-2026 levy and tax base. Treat it as a scale proxy, not a payable-2026 parcel count. For official population context, the Department of Revenue’s LGA certification files record Nowthen’s population at 4,595 (2023 estimate, pay-2026 file; peak 4,536 in the 2020 census), with the full series back to 1970 held with the source records alongside the aid factors.
