Anoka property tax: where it goes
A Anoka house pays 1.342% of its taxable value in property tax, plus flat charges on the same bill. For a house at $317,000 of value before exemptions with the homestead exemption, that's about $3,377 a year.
Tax is levied on estimated market value, less the homestead market value exclusion, times the class rate (1.00% on the first $500,000, 1.25% above) gives tax capacity, taxed at the local tax capacity rates; ISD 11's referendum (RMV) levies are a separate rate on referendum market value.
