The City Council has approved a property tax levy increase of 5.1 percent for 2020. The levy increase will help fund an adopted city budget of $62,493,655 for the year.

Did You Know?All Roseville City Council meetings are open to the public and include time for public comment. Meetings are held at Roseville City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Dr., and begin at 6 p.m. Meetings are also shown live on cable channel 16 in Roseville and streamed live on the Internet. A video archive of City Council meetings is also available. |
The impact on homeowners will vary depending on a property’s value and its change in value compared to 2019. Based on an expected rise in property values of about 6.7 percent, the monthly cost of tax-supported city services for the owner of a $272,000 median-valued Roseville home will be $85.41 for 2020, an increase from the 2019 amount of $79.14.
The total budget adopted by the Council is an increase of $7,031,515 compared to Roseville’s 2019 budget. It continues to fund all existing city programs and services, eliminates the city’s reliance on cash reserves to balance the budget, covers inflationary costs for staff and equipment and the addition of public safety personnel. The bulk of the increase, however, is due to higher capital replacements, including $5 million in necessary maintenance to the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL, for which the city is seeking state funding.
In 2019, the city’s portion of a typical Roseville homeowner’s tax bill was 29 to 30 percent of the total property tax bill, depending on the school district in which the property is located. The remaining portion of taxes paid by homeowners went to Ramsey County (40 to 42 percent), school districts (21 to 24 percent) and other taxing districts like the Metropolitan Council and watershed districts (7 percent).

City Manager Patrick Trudgeon
Presents 2020 Preliminary Budget
August 12, 2019
Investing in our existing assets and public safety personnel was the theme of City Manager Patrick Trudgeon’s 2020 preliminary budget recommendation to the City Council.
The $62.6 million budget calls for the city to increase its capital outlay by more than 60 percent in 2020 to $15.5 million. The vast majority of the recommended $6 million increase is a one-time $5 million investment in necessary infrastructure maintenance to the 26-year old Guidant John Rose MN OVAL. The city is also seeking state funding for the OVAL improvements.
Overall, the recommended budget represents a total increase of approximately $7 million compared to 2019. In addition to the one-time capital outlay for the OVAL, the 2020 budget continues to fund all existing city programs and services. The bulk of the remaining budget increase compared to 2019 are due to inflationary costs for staff and equipment and additional public safety personnel.

Revenue Sources
Roseville homeowners will be asked to contribute $12.5 million in residential property taxes according to the 2020 recommended budget. This represents an increase of about 5.5 percent compared to last year’s levy. Residential property taxes fund approximately 20 percent of the city’s annual budget.
Revenue for the remaining $50.1 million in the budget will come from commercial property taxes, license and permit fees, charges for services like recreation programs, user charges for water and sewers, intergovernmental sources, court fees, and interest earnings.
