The 2025 proposed Ramsey County tax statement arrived in the mail on Saturday. It always comes on the weekend. Maybe they do that so we have a few days to deal with our shock and grief over the increases while county offices are closed for the weekend.
Our property taxes will increase by slightly more than 16%. Ouch. The city of St. Paul increased property taxes by 7.9%, the largest part of the increase. It should be noted that Minneapolis taxes increased by 8.1%. Inflation and rising property values contribute to the increase.
We knew property taxes would be increased but seeing the bill is shocking. It is actual money that we have to send to the county. There are state refunds for property taxes but the taxes have to be paid before money can be refunded.
If you haven’t opened your Ramsy County Proposed Property Tax statement yet you might want to pour yourself a drink before you do.
