Minnetonka uses its property taxes to provide a full range of municipal services. Unlike most cities, taxes fund road and other improvements, rather than additional special assessments to property owners. Approximately 70 percent of property taxes supports streets and public safety, and most of the remaining 30 percent is dedicated to parks and natural resources. Minnetonka’s tax rate is typically one of the lowest of comparable metro-area cities.
