INVEST IN ROSEVILLE
Roseville voters will consider two separate ballot questions about whether to use a local 0.5% sales tax to support a new Maintenance Operations Center and License & Passport Center. The local sales tax rate will be the same if one or both projects are approved.
Why use a local sales tax?
Cities have two primary ways to pay for public service improvements: sales taxes and property taxes. By using a sales tax, the cost of the investment would be spread among residents and nonresidents who make purchases in the city and often benefit from city services.
- 64% of the sales tax would be paid by nonresidents, according to a study by the University of Minnesota Extension Center for Community Vitality,
- Approximately $49 million of the construction costs would be paid by nonresidents who purchase goods and services in Roseville, according to the University of Minnesota study.
- If the projects were funded through a property tax increase, the cost burden would only fall on those who own commercial and residential property in Roseville.
Local sales tax in the Metro Area
Many communities in the Twin Cities have passed local sales taxes including St. Paul, Minneapolis, Edina, Bloomington, Golden Valley, Oakdale, and Maple Grove.
