Anoka County is urging that any changes to the regional Fiscal Disparities Program occur only as part of comprehensive property tax reform, not as isolated adjustments. This priority is about safeguarding residents from unintended financial impacts. The term “fiscal disparities” refers to the unequal distribution of taxable resources (like commercial property) among local governments. Minnesota’s Fiscal Disparities Program is a creative solution to this issue, where a portion of commercial/industrial property tax growth is pooled across a region and redistributed to ensure all communities in an area can provide adequate public services.
