How these numbers are made
- Water: City of New Hope 2026 fee schedule. The monthly fixed amount is the $11.67 residential base fee plus the $1.26 state testing fee ($12.93), then $8.60 per 1,000 gallons up to 10,000 gallons, $9.33 from 10,001 to 20,000 and $10.51 above. The fee schedule gives no billing period for the tiers; the calculator applies them per month, matching monthly bills. We found no published typical household use, so the page starts at 9 CCF (about 6,700 gallons) a month. The 2025 water quality report (the city says it is at newhopemn.gov/waterquality) could not be read by our checker, so no water-quality facts are listed.
- Sewer: $11.36 minimum including the first 1,000 gallons, then $7.55 plus a $0.78 surcharge per additional 1,000 gallons ($8.33). The fee schedule does not say whether the surcharge also applies to the first 1,000 gallons. The city bills sewer on winter (December to March) water use, and summer bills use the previous winter's average or actual use, whichever is lower; the calculator charges sewer on the water use you enter every month, so for a home that uses more water in summer it is an upper estimate.
- Utility bill fees counted: HRG recycling $7.20, organics $2.90 (the lowest of the fee schedule's participation tiers, the amount the city's waste page states today; it rises to $3.75 if enrollment passes 11%), and the non-decorative street light fee $1.76 a month (the city says it is applied to all utility accounts; the decorative, underground-power rate is $2.54). Not counted: the stormwater utility rate (the fee schedule lists $10.69 per REF for single and two-family residential parcels, with no billing period or REF size, and the city says bills include storm drainage and the charge is assessed on all properties, so a real bill is higher), and the emergency water supply/watermain repair charge of $0.50 per 1,000 gallons listed in the fee schedule, which is not part of the tier rates here (at 6,700 gallons it would add about $3.35 a month). Garbage: New Hope does not provide trash service, so your hauler's price is not counted.
- Property tax: Hennepin County's final 2026 payable rates for New Hope tax area 86-281-8-02 (Shingle Creek watershed), the area with the most tax capacity (about $22.8 million of New Hope's $33.7 million): 139.094% of tax capacity plus 0.20744% of market value for school referendums. The southern part of the city (Bassett Creek watershed, 1.025% instead of 0.293%) pays about 0.7 points more of tax capacity. The calculator takes off the homestead market value exclusion (40% of value up to $95,000, then $38,000 minus 9% of value above $95,000, zero from $517,200), multiplies by the 1.00% class rate and the tax capacity rate, adds 0.25% x 139.094% on value above $500,000 (the 1.25% class rate), and adds 0.20744% of the full value for referendum levies. We found no flat charges on the Hennepin tax bill for New Hope.
- Energy: Xcel Energy's average 2024 Minnesota residential price (16.98¢, a 2024 average rather than a current tariff; Xcel's 2026 approved rates were not found and may differ) less the $6.00 basic charge spread over the kWh sold gives 15.96¢ per kWh; the fixed amount is $6.00 plus the city's $4 residential electricity franchise fee. Gas: CenterPoint's delivery, gas cost, decoupling and conservation riders per therm, with $9.50 basic charge plus the city's $4 gas franchise fee. The franchise fees come from New Hope's 2026 fee schedule; the Xcel and CenterPoint tariffs list $3.00 for New Hope (2017 entries), so a bill may show $3 instead.
- Insurance is the Minnesota statewide NAIC average HO-3 premium for 2022. The value is Hennepin County's median estimated market value for New Hope single-family homes, used as the starting value.
