Pine County board backs resolution opposing proposed PILT cuts
Summary
Commissioners approved Resolution 2025-15 supporting maintenance of Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funding, noting the county receives about $901,000 annually and staff estimated a governors budget proposal could cut roughly $300,000 from Pine Countys PILT payments.
County staff and commissioners raised concerns about the governor's budget proposal, which includes reductions to Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT). Staff summarized input from the Arrowhead Counties Association and a letter from Saint Louis County and estimated Pine County could face roughly a $300,000 reduction in PILT under the proposal. Commissioner comments noted Pine County currently receives about $901,000 in PILT payments and that reductions would have material local budget consequences.
Commissioner (speaker 5) moved to adopt Resolution 2025-15 supporting maintenance of PILT payments; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners said the resolution is intended to support Arrowhead-area counties in advocacy to maintain current PILT funding levels.
