rates to "compress" the difference between the tax capacity rates applicable to residential <br />homestead properties and commercial and industrial properties. <br />8. Changes to Local Tax Rate. The local tax rate to be applied in the tax increment <br />financing district is the lower of the current local tax rate or the original local tax rate for the tax <br />increment financing district. In the event that the Current Local Tax Rate is higher than the <br />Original Local Tax Rate, then the "excess" or difference that comes about after applying the <br />lower Original Local Tax Rate instead of the Current Local Tax Rate is considered "excess" tax <br />increment and is distributed by Sherburne County to the other taxing jurisdictions and such <br />amount is not available to the City as tax increment. <br />9. Legislation. The Minnesota Legislature has frequently modified laws affecting <br />real property taxes, particularly as they relate to tax capacity rates and the overall level of taxes <br />as affected by state aid to municipalities. <br />10. Multi -Owner District. In determining the amount of tax increment generated by <br />the development property, Sherburne County may allocate a sharing factor when there are <br />multiple parcels of land in the tax increment financing district. This may result in a lower amount <br />of tax increment attributable to the development property than if the development property was <br />the only parcel in the district. In addition, the sharing factor calculation is not consistent with the <br />method that the City will use to determine Pledged Tax Increments. <br />D-7 <br />EL ] 85-50-718703.v2 <br />
