1.8a tabulated statement of the dollar amount due to each taxing authority and the amount
1.9of the state tax from the parcel of real property for which a particular tax statement is

1.20levy under this paragraph includes an amount for a lake improvement district as defined
1.21under sections 103B.501 to 103B.581, the amount attributable for that purpose must be
1.22separately stated from the remaining county levy amount. In the case of Ramsey County,
1.23if the county levy under this paragraph includes an amount for public library service
1.24under section 134.07, the amount attributable for that purpose may be separated from the

2.2be separately stated. The dollar amounts, including the dollar amount of any special
