Woodbury HRA holds property tax levy at $250,000 for 2027
The Woodbury Housing and Redevelopment Authority met on September 23 to approve its 2027 budget, maintaining the same $250,000 property tax levy it has used since 2021. The decision keeps funding flat as the city continues its housing development initiatives.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), a city agency focused on affordable housing and community development, voted to adopt Resolution 26-05, which authorizes a property tax levy not to exceed $250,000 for 2027. This amount matches the historic funding level established in the city's 2021 Housing Action Plan, meaning no tax increase for HRA operations next year.
Chair Anne Burt presided over the meeting held at Woodbury City Hall in the Council Chambers, with the option for residents to attend in person or join virtually. HRA Executive Director Jeffrey J. Dahl authored the levy proposal, while Housing and Economic Development Manager Jamie Fritts provided policy analysis on the agency's initiatives.
The meeting agenda was relatively light, with no public hearings scheduled. The board approved the minutes from its previous meeting on June 24, 2026, as part of routine consent agenda items. The main business centered on the 2027 levy authorization, which staff recommended for adoption.
The HRA is responsible for developing and implementing affordable housing programs and supporting economic development in Woodbury. By maintaining consistent funding levels, the agency can continue its work without requiring additional tax revenue from residents. The resolution will be forwarded to the City Council for their information.
