§ 473F.05 — Net Tax Capacity

Plain-Language Summary

This section explains how the shared tax base is distributed back to municipalities. Each city receives a share based on its population and fiscal capacity. Cities with lower property values per person receive a larger share, while wealthier cities receive less.

Practical Notes
The distribution formula gives more to cities with lower fiscal capacity (less property value per person). This helps reduce tax disparities between property-rich and property-poor communities across the metro area.
