Nobody likes paying taxes.
But this is the method used to fund government and the many services that we have come to expect. Our schools, roads, libraries, recycling services, parks, jails and many other services and programs are funded through taxes. Property taxes account for 37 percent of the funding for services and operations in Ramsey County. Each property's share of the taxes is determined according to its value, use, and property tax levies. The Ramsey County Assessor is responsible for setting classifications for tax purposes and estimating values throughout the County.
