Minnetonka Budget
Preparing Minnetonka’s city budget is an eight-month process that starts with the five-year capital improvements program and wraps up with adoption of the final budget and tax levy in December. To create the budget, the city council and staff use data to ensure the budget aligns with the city’s strategic priorities.
