What’s counted

  • Property tax credits. The homestead, ag land and family farm, business property, elderly and disabled, and military service credits. Property owners’ bills are lower by these amounts, and the state pays the county treasurer the difference, who passes it on to the county, cities, schools and others.2
  • City road money. The Road Use Tax Fund share each city reports receiving from the state, from fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, added up by county.3
  • Not on the map. School aid, the largest payment, because school districts cross county lines; see each district on the schools page. The local option sales tax, because it’s a local tax the state only collects.
