I already paid the special assessment. Why is it still on my tax statement?
Special Assessments are certified to the county at the end of each year for the following year. They can be certified by taxing authorities like the city, township, school or CDA.

You need to call the taxing authority that placed the special assessment on your property to verify that the certified amount was paid to them.
What taxing authorities are included in METRO DISTRICTS on my tax statement?

What is the County Rail Authority? What is the money used for?
Carver County Regional Rail Authority is governed by a five-member board which oversees designated rail transportation corridors in Carver County. The Board has the power to levy, issue bonds, and enter into contracts. The Authority was established for the preservation and improvement of local rail service. The Authority may purchase abandoned railroad lines within the County to preserve them for long-range plans that may include light rail transportation or to improve the trail system.
Money is used for land stewardship to maintain rail transportation corridors for future transportation uses. Examples include maintaining drainage across railroad corridors, maintaining bridges/trestles, removing vegetation and control of noxious weeds, general clean-up of debris and trash, providing interim use of the rail corridor for trail purposes, and permitting of work within railroad right-of-way for utilities and road crossings. Money may also be used to operate and maintain railroads within Carver County.
My tax statement shows non-homestead but I live in the house located on the property. How do I file or check on my homestead application?

What is the HAZ & Solid Waste fee on my statement?
This is a recycle management fee to fund local environmental programs. This fee is charged only to properties with buildings, and is shown in the "Special Assessment" line of the tax statement.
The fee is recommended by the Carver County Public Services Division and reviewed yearly by the Carver County Board of Commissioners to determine funding needs. The fee was increased to $33 from $30 per household for payable 2019 taxes. Commercial and industrial properties vary by size and classification.
This fee supports activities such as the County Environmental Center, illegal dump clean-up, rural recycling programs, and many other related programs. For more information, call Carver County Environmental Services at (952) 361-1800.
