The Inver Grove Heights City Council meeting on September 8, 2025, focused on the city's property tax estimates and the implications for residents. City officials presented updated figures from Dakota County, indicating a rise in the median valued residential property to $362,200, up from last year's $349,100. This increase reflects a growth of 5.74% in property values.

As a result of this rise, residents can expect an estimated increase of approximately $80.59 in their annual city taxes, as indicated on their property tax statements. The council also discussed the citywide levy and preliminary levies for special taxing districts, which are essential components of the overall tax structure.

These discussions highlight the ongoing trend of increasing property values in Inver Grove Heights and the corresponding impact on local taxation. The council's focus on these financial matters underscores the importance of transparency and communication with residents regarding changes in property taxes and city funding. Further details on the final tax rates and levies will be addressed in upcoming meetings.
