The Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District's primary funding source is a property tax. The following Minnesota laws provide authority for watershed district funding:

MN Statute 103D.901 Assessments; Levies

The Board of Managers holds a public hearing each year (typically in early September) for the next year's proposed budget and levy. By law, the Board of Managers must adopt a budget and levy for the following year by September 15th. Budgets from the last several years are listed below.
