Budget Terminology
Biennial Budget—A two-year rolling budget process that allows the city to plan for the next two
years. The concept budget does not include a proposed tax rate due to unknown factors such as
taxable market value.
Concept Budget—A budget in concept only,then revised the following year and presented as a
proposed budget.
Adopted Budget—The final budget and levy adopted by the City Council each December for the
following year. Example: In December 2018 the Council will approve the adopted budget for
2019.
Proposed Budget—A budget and levy approved by the City Council by September 30 (new date
from 2014 Legislation) of each year and used to present the proposed property taxes for the
next year. The proposed budget and levy cannot increase but can only decrease if so desired by
the majority of council. The upcoming budget and levy changes status from concept to
proposed.
Ad Valorem Taxes—Latin term for tax based on the value of real estate. Golden Valley levies
for General Fund Operations and Bonded Debt.
Fund Balance—Net position of a governmental fund (difference between assets, liabilities,
deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows).
General Fund Tax Levy—Ad valorem taxes collected by the City through property taxes to fund
the remainder of the City's needs not funded by fees such as permits, licenses, etc.
Debt Levy—Amount levied to make payments for bonded debt. Bonded debt pays for the City's
pavement management program and capital equipment.
Tax Abatement—A reallocation of taxes to pay for public infrastructure costs that were needed
for the expansion of General Mills facility.
Taxable Market Value—The value on which your property taxes are actually based, after all the
reductions, limitations, exemptions, and deferrals. Your value as of January 2, 2018 will
determine how much you will pay in taxes in 2019.
Tax Capacity—Determined by multiplying the taxable market value of each property by the
statutory class rates for the specific use on the property. Different property classifications have
different class rates.
Fiscal Disparities—A tax base sharing pool program that started in 1975.
Contribution: The contribution to the pool is equal to 40 percent of the growth in
commercial, industrial, and public utility value since the base year (1971 for the Twin Cities;
1995 for the Taconite Area). This measure of growth includes both new construction and
inflationary increases in existing property values.
Distribution:The tax capacity contributed to the pool is based on a distribution index.
This index compares each city's total market value per capita to the average market value per
capita for all cities and towns in the seven counties. Cities that have relatively less market value
per capita receive a relatively larger distribution from the pool than cities with greater market
value wealth per capita.
Tax Increment—Financing secured by the anticipated incremental increases in property tax
revenues resulting from redevelopment. Golden Valley has four tax increment districts (North
Wirth, Hwy 55-West, Cornerstone Housing and Winnetka –Medicine Lake Rd).
Special Levies—Portions of ad valorem taxes levied by a local governmental unit as allowed by
Statute for certain approved programs. If the Golden Valley Fire Relief Pension required
calculation is negative, the City would have to levy the difference.
