Minnesota Public Radio says lawsuits are costing cities, counties and school of districts tens of millions of dollars this year. Hennepin and Ramsey counties have paid out about $45 million in refunds.
The number of delinquent taxpayers in Hennepin County has dropped, but more taxpayers are at risk of losing their properties to pay off their tax bills. Hundreds of property owners owe the county nearly $43 million in back taxes and penalties. The Star Tribune reports the county sent out a record 931 notices last year warning owners the deadline to redeem their properties was about to expire.
Voters in North Dakoka -- flush with oil boom money and enjoying the lowest unemployment in the nation -- had the chance Tuesday to become the first state to cast off property taxes. But in the end, voters decided to keep the $800 million a year the taxes raise.
Some Ramsey County residents could see dramatic increases in their property taxes despite the county's plan to cut spending. Hundreds of taxpayers turned out at a hearing to plead with leaders to lessen the tax burden, but many people had equally passionate pleas to preserve public services.
