Housing & Redevelopment Authority

The predominant method of delivering and administering housing and redevelopment programs in Minnesota is through an HRA, which is a legal public agency, accountable to city government. There are more than 230 HRAs in Minnesota.  The Mound Housing and Redevelopment Authority is governed by the Mayor who serves as HRA Board Chairman and the Council Members who serve as HRA Commissioners.  The City Manager serves as the Executive Director.

The HRA may levy a tax upon all taxable property within the city.  The maximum general allowable operational levy of HRAs is 0.0185% of the previous year’s estimated market value of all property in the city.  The HRA currently levies a property tax to pay for the Transit Center bonds and for costs related to maintenance of both the Transit Center and Harbor District.

HRA meetings are only held as needed immediately before the City Council meeting on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.
