Minnehaha Creek Plans to Avoid Levy Increase

The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District plans to hold its tax levy steady this year.

At a workshop Thursday, the Board of Managers approved a preliminary 2012 budget that would set the levy at $7,742,005, the same as in 2011, according to a watershed district news release.

For a median value home in Hennepin County—just under $250,000—the district's portion of property taxes would be about $3 per month.

A public hearing on the district’s preliminary 2012 budget and tax levy will take place at 6:45 p.m., Sept. 1 in the lower level board room of the watershed district offices, located in Deephaven at 18202 Minnetonka Blvd.  The Board of Managers will vote on the 2012 budget and set the levy at its meeting September 8.  

The 2012 budget summary is available on the district’s website.
