Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA)The Mound City Council also serves as the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The HRA is a separate legal entity from the City Council and is guided by Legislative statute. The City Manager serves as the Executive Director.
The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is a legally distinct public entity that assists the City Council in addressing the city's housing and redevelopment goals and objectives in accordance with the city's comprehensive plan.
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) DistrictsThe Mound HRA has authorized the creation of several Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts within the city. TIF is a public financing method that is sometimes used to encourage private investment in areas that need revitalization. It is a financing tool meant to support local economic development, redevelopment, and housing redevelopment that would not otherwise occur without assistance.
For more information on TIF, visit the Office of the Minnesota State Auditor
Website.
HRA Taxing AbilityIn Minnesota, a Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) can levy a special tax on taxable property within its area of operation. The tax levy is limited to 0.0185% of the previous year’s estimated market value of all property in the city.
The HRA currently levies a special tax to pay for the city's Transit Center bonds and for costs related to maintenance of both the Transit Center and Harbor District.
