Minnesota Statutes 275.28 – Tax Lists
Subdivision 1.Auditor to make.
The county auditor shall make out the tax lists according to the prescribed form, and to correspond with the assessment districts. The rate percent necessary to raise the required amount of the various taxes shall be calculated on the net tax capacity of property as determined by the state Board of Equalization, but, in calculating such rates, no rate shall be used resulting in a fraction other than a decimal fraction, or less than a gross local tax rate of .01 percent or a net local tax rate of .01 percent; and, in extending any tax, whenever it amounts to the fractional part of a cent, it shall be made one cent. The tax lists shall also be made out to correspond with the assessment books in reference to ownership and description of property, with columns for the valuation and for the various items of tax included in the total amount of all taxes set down opposite each description. The auditor shall enter both the state tax determined under sections 275.02 and 275.025, and the local tax determined under section 275.08, on the tax lists. The total ad valorem property tax for each description of property before credits is the sum of the amounts of the various local taxes that apply to the parcel plus the amount of any applicable state tax. Opposite each description which has been sold for taxes, and which is subject to redemption, but not redeemed, shall be placed the words “sold for taxes.” The amount of all special taxes shall be entered in the proper columns, but the general taxes may be shown by entering the rate percent of each tax at the head of the proper columns, without extending the same, in which case a schedule of the rates percent of such taxes shall be made on the first page of each tax list. If the auditor fails to enter on any such list before its delivery to the treasurer any tax levied, the tax may be subsequently entered. The tax lists shall be deemed completed, and all taxes extended thereon, as of January 1 annually.
