     275.73 Elections for additional levies. 

    Subdivision 1.    Additional levy authorization.  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 275.70 to 275.72, but 
 subject to other law or charter provisions establishing other 
 limitations on the amount of property taxes a local governmental 
 unit may levy, a local governmental unit may levy an additional 
 levy in any amount which is approved by the majority of voters 
 of the governmental unit voting on the question at a general or 
 special election.  Notwithstanding section 275.61, any levy 
 authorized under this section shall be levied against net tax 
 capacity unless the levy required voter approval under another 
 general or special law or any charter provisions.  When the 
 governing body of the local governmental unit resolves to 
 increase the levy pursuant to this section, it shall provide for 
 submission of the proposition of an additional levy at a general 
 or special election.  Notice of the election shall be given in 
 the manner required by law.  The notice shall state the purpose 
 and the maximum yearly amount of the additional levy. 

    Subd. 2.    Levy effective date.  An additional levy 
 approved under subdivision 1 at a general or special election 
 held prior to September 1 in any levy year may be levied in that 
 same levy year and subsequent levy years.  An additional levy 
 approved under subdivision 1 at a general or special election 
 held after August 31 in any levy year shall not be levied in 
 that same levy but may be levied in subsequent levy years.
