At The Capitol / State forecasts 2008 property tax increases

The news isn't as bad for homeowners. The state Revenue Department estimated property taxes on owner-occupied homes would rise 5.3 percent, while the nonpartisan Minnesota House Research Department forecast a 5.7 percent increase. Business property taxes will go up about 8 percent. Democratic legislative leaders said those higher-than-expected increases show that the 2008 Legislature should buy down property tax bills for financially stressed homeowners
