Each county auditor
shall determine a homestead credit for each class 1a, 1b, and 2a homestead property
within the county equal to deleted text begin 0.4deleted text end new text begin ...new text end percent of the first deleted text begin $76,000deleted text end new text begin $.......new text end of market value
of the property minus deleted text begin .09deleted text end new text begin ...new text end percent of the market value in excess of deleted text begin $76,000deleted text end new text begin $.......new text end .
The credit amount may not be less than zero. In the case of an agricultural or resort
homestead, only the market value of the house, garage, and immediately surrounding one
acre of land is eligible in determining the property's homestead credit. In the case of a
property that is classified as part homestead and part nonhomestead, (i) the credit shall
apply only to the homestead portion of the property, but (ii) if a portion of a property is
classified as nonhomestead solely because not all the owners occupy the property, not all
the owners have qualifying relatives occupying the property, or solely because not all the
spouses of owners occupy the property, the credit amount shall be initially computed as
if that nonhomestead portion were also in the homestead class and then prorated to the
owner-occupant's percentage of ownership. For the purpose of this section, when an
owner-occupant's spouse does not occupy the property, the percentage of ownership for
the owner-occupant spouse is one-half of the couple's ownership percentage.

a maximum reduction of deleted text begin $115deleted text end new text begin $.......new text end . In the case of property that is classified in part as

because not all the owners occupy or farm the property, not all the owners have qualifying
relatives occupying or farming the property, or solely because not all the spouses of
owners occupy the property, the credit must be initially computed as if that nonhomestead
agricultural land was also classified as class 2a agricultural homestead and then prorated
to the owner-occupant's percentage of ownership.

homestead increase more than deleted text begin 12deleted text end new text begin ..new text end percent over the property taxes payable in the prior
year on the same property that is owned and occupied by the same owner on January

shall be determined from the year ending on June 30, deleted text begin 2000deleted text end new text begin 2007new text end , to the year ending on

not the income tax brackets are adjusted for inflation in that year. The commissioner shall
round the thresholds and the maximum amounts, as adjusted to the nearest $10 amount. If

Minnesota Statutes 2006, section 477A.011, subdivision 34, is amended to
read:


Subd. 34.

City revenue need.

(a) For a city with a population equal to or greater
than 2,500, "city revenue need" is the sum of (1) 5.0734098 times the pre-1940 housing
percentage; plus (2) 19.141678 times the population decline percentage; plus (3)
2504.06334 times the road accidents factor; plus (4) 355.0547; minus (5) the metropolitan
area factor; minus (6) 49.10638 times the household size.

(b) For a city with a population less than 2,500, "city revenue need" is the sum of
(1) 2.387 times the pre-1940 housing percentage; plus (2) 2.67591 times the commercial
industrial percentage; plus (3) 3.16042 times the population decline percentage; plus (4)
1.206 times the transformed population; minus (5) 62.772.

(c) For a city with a population of 2,500 or more and a population in one of the most
recently available five years that was less than 2,500, "city revenue need" is the sum of (1)
its city revenue need calculated under paragraph (a) multiplied by its transition factor;
plus (2) its city revenue need calculated under the formula in paragraph (b) multiplied
by the difference between one and its transition factor. For purposes of this paragraph, a
city's "transition factor" is equal to 0.2 multiplied by the number of years that the city's
population estimate has been 2,500 or more. This provision only applies for aids payable
in calendar years 2006 to 2008 to cities with a 2002 population of less than 2,500. It
applies to any city for aids payable in 2009 and thereafter.

(d) The city revenue need cannot be less than zero.

(e) For calendar year deleted text begin 2005deleted text end new text begin 2008new text end and subsequent years, the city revenue need for
