Starting July 1, 2025, Roseville will have a 0.5% sales and use tax to fund the construction of the new City of Roseville Maintenance Operations Center for Public Works and Parks and Recreation.
The Minnesota Department of Revenue will administer this half-cent tax. Additional information can be found at The Minnesota Department of Revenue's website.
The 0.5% sales tax applies to retail sales made in Roseville. The use tax applies to taxable items used in Roseville if the local sales tax was not paid.
Local-use taxes on purchases of goods and services made outside the City of Roseville that are used in the City of Roseville are subject to local-use taxes, pursuant to Minnesota statute.
Voter-Approved
In November 2024, Roseville voters approved a ballot question allowing the city to enact a half-cent local sales tax to build a new Public Works and Parks Operations Facility at a cost of $64.2 million.
It passed with 55% voting yes. On March 17, 2025, the Roseville City Council adopted an ordinance formally authorizing the collection of the 0.5% sales and use tax.
The new facility, to be located on the northwest corner of Lexington Ave. N. and Woodhill Drive, will serve as a more efficient, centralized hub for the essential city services, including:
- Water distribution and sanitary sewer systems
- Road work and pathway work
- Snow removal
- Maintenance of the city’s 33 parks
- Storage and repair of more than 300 vehicles including snowplows, street sweepers, and fire engines.
