Minnesota SF4840 allows a reverse referendum for local government levies that increase by a certain amount.
Minnesota SF4840, known as the "Property Tax Payers' Empowerment Act," allows a reverse referendum for local government levies that increase by a certain amount. If a local governmental unit's proposed levy for the coming year exceeds its actual levy for the current year, voters can petition for a referendum. If the referendum is approved, the maximum allowed levy for the coming year is reduced. The bill also mandates that county auditors publish information on the right to petition for a referendum and requires certain notices to be included with property tax statements.
