Where the money goes, where it comes from, property taxes, and how to reach Home's government.
Where Home's money goes
Where the money comes from
- Property taxes 70%
- From the state 25%
- Fees & charges 5%
- Interest, fines & other <1%
Revenue here is well above spending. That usually means Home collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted above.

Home's K–12 school district, shared with Evan, Sleepy Eye, Stark, Prairieville, Leavenworth and Albin. It is its own government, with a budget separate from the town's.
Where the district's money comes from Minnesota districts overall: 30% local, 62% state, 8% federal
