Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution sets the proposed property tax levy for the year 2024 for the special taxing district, Duluth Transit Authority (DTA). Although the transit authority is a special taxing district per Minnesota Statute 275.066, the city is obligated through council resolution to levy on their behalf.
The full levy allowable by law in Minnesota State Statute 458A.31 of .07253 percent of estimated market value for 2024 is in excess of $7.3 Million. The DTA, in reviewing their needs for 2024, is opting for $2,174,408. The DTA is requesting approximately .02154 percent of the estimated market value for 2024, resulting in a $0 increase from 2023
