Property taxes increase 3% in proposed Sauk Rapids 2027 budget

SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. — While the overall levy for the property tax in Sauk Rapids is planned to increase in 2027, the actual rate is planned to decrease slightly — which doesn’t mean taxpayers will pay less in the new year. The tax capacity for the city went up nearly 4% in the past year, Finance Director Jack Kahlhamer said during the Nov. 9 city council meeting, and the levy is planned to go up 3%. “But,” he said, “again, the tax capacity increase is really almost all existing homes.” The tax capacity can be impacted by new construction but also increases in existing property values, which could lead to higher costs for homeowners. According to the proposed budget, this is compared to 2026’s increased level of nearly 9% from the previous year with about the same increase to tax capacity. More: 3M agrees to pay billions over toxic chemical claims Utility fee increases in Sauk Rapids The other potential increase for homeowners are the public utilities and services fees. Utility fees overall will increase about 5% to 6% into the new year, according to the proposed budget. Most of the increase come from storm water fees, which will see

A 900-ton Victorian duplex once crept through downtown St. Paul at a crawling 20 feet per hour, lifted with hydraulic jacks and conveyed on wheeled dollies past onlookers, to escape a date with the wrecking ball. Twenty-five years later, the Armstrong-Quinlan House still stands in the Irvine Park neighborhood — though its path there, and the years of struggle that followed, make for one of the stranger chapters in the city's preservation history.
