The resulting tax rate shall apply to all taxable property except commercial-industrial property, which shall be taxed in accordance with subdivision 6.
On or before August 25 of each year, the county auditor shall certify to the administrative auditor that portion of the levy of each governmental unit determined under subdivisions 3, clause (a), 3a, and 3b.

On or before September 1 of each year, the administrative auditor shall certify the areawide tax rate to each of the county auditors.
If a governmental unit is located in two or more counties, the computations and certifications required by subdivisions 3 to 5 with respect to it shall be made by the county auditor who is responsible under other provisions of law for allocating its levies between or among the affected counties.
The areawide tax rate determined in accordance with subdivision 5 shall apply to each commercial-industrial property subject to taxation within a municipality, including property located within any tax increment financing district, as defined in section 469.174, subdivision 9, to that portion of the net tax capacity of the item which bears the same proportion to its total net tax capacity as 40 percent of the amount determined under sections 473F.06 and 473F.07 is to the amount determined under section 473F.05. The tax rate determined in accordance with subdivision 4 shall apply in the taxation of the remainder of the net tax capacity of the item.
The administrative auditor shall determine for each county the difference between the total levy on distribution value pursuant to subdivisions 3, clause (a), 3a, and 3b, within the county and the total tax on contribution value pursuant to subdivision 6, within the county.

On or before June 15 and November 15 of each year, each county treasurer in a county having a total tax on contribution value in excess of the total levy on distribution value shall pay one-half of the excess to the other counties in accordance with the administrative auditors certification.
In any year in which the highest classification rate for class 3a property changes from the rate in the previous year, the following adjustments shall be made to the procedures described in sections 473F.06 to 473F.08.
(1) An initial contribution tax capacity shall be determined for each municipality based on the previous year's classification rates.
(2) Each jurisdiction's distribution tax capacity shall be determined based upon the areawide tax base determined by summing the tax capacities computed under clause (1) for all municipalities and apportioning the resulting sum pursuant to section 473F.07, subdivision 5.
(3) Each jurisdiction's distribution levy shall be determined by applying the procedures described in subdivision 3, clause (a), to the distribution tax capacity determined pursuant to clause (2).
(4) Each municipality's final contribution tax capacity shall be determined equal to its initial contribution tax capacity multiplied by the ratio of the new highest classification rate for class 3a property to the previous year's highest classification rate for class 3a property.
(5) For the purposes of computing education aids and any other state aids requiring the addition of the fiscal disparities distribution tax capacity to the local tax capacity, each municipality's final distribution tax capacity shall be determined equal to its initial distribution tax capacity multiplied by the ratio of the new highest classification rate for class 3a property to the previous year's highest classification rate for class 3a property.
(6) The areawide tax rate shall be determined by dividing the sum of the amounts determined in clause (3) by the sum of the values determined in clause (4).
(7) The final contribution tax capacity determined in clause (4) shall also be used to determined the portion of each commercial/industrial property's tax capacity subject to the areawide tax rate pursuant to subdivision 6.
For the purpose of computing fiscal capacity under section 473F.02, subdivision 14, a municipality's taxable market value shall be adjusted to reflect the reductions to net tax capacity effected by subdivision 2, clause (a), provided that in determining the taxable market value of commercial-industrial property or any class thereof within a municipality, the reduction required by this subdivision shall be that amount which bears the same proportion to the amount subtracted from the municipality's net tax capacity pursuant to subdivision 2, clause (a), as the taxable market value of commercial-industrial property, or such class thereof, located within the municipality bears to the net tax capacity of commercial-industrial property, or such class thereof, located within the municipality. No adjustment shall be made to taxable market value for the increase in net tax capacity under subdivision 2, clause (b).
