Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This ordinance sets the property tax levy for the year 2022 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 action to levy on their behalf.
The DTA, in reviewing their needs for 2022, is opting not to request the full levy allowable. Instead, the DTA is requesting the same levy amount as 2021.
