[Music] To reduce spending and ease the municipal property tax levy burden, Henipin County will take over assessing services in Edina no later than July 1, 2026. Edina's assessing division, which currently includes six full-time staff members, establishes estimated market value and determines the property classification of every EDINA property each year for property tax allocation. The division also maintains property records, performs annual quintile property reviews, performs property reviews based on new construction and building permits, administers the appeals process, including the board of appeals and equalization, and works with Henipin County on programs related to property assessment and classification. The county currently provides assessing services to most cities in Henipin County as well as Fort Snelling and the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport. Maple Grove is also moving assessing services to the county. The change is estimated to reduce city spending by approximately $500,000 in 2026 and by $1 million annually starting in 2027. Seven.
