Prince told to rock his way down to the tax office

The legendary star has been delinquent on taxes before but eventually paid up.

By PAUL WALSH and MARY LYNN SMITH, Star Tribune staff writers
Last update: March 25, 2010 - 10:37 AM

Minnesota's Purple One is in the red to Carver County.

Prince owes more than $500,000 in back taxes, interest and fines on a dozen properties, including $221,891.88 on Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, where the Minneapolis-born rock and film star also has a home. He's among dozens of other delinquent property owners in the county who owe taxes due in 2009 and had their names and property information published in the Chaska Herald last week. The money generated from those taxes are split among school districts, cities, the county and sometimes the state, depending on the property.

No other property owner listed in the paper comes close to what the county says Prince needs to cough up. Prince's home and other properties establish him as one of the largest property owners in Chanhassen, making the taxes he owes the city a significant chunk of change.

Asked to comment about the delinquencies, a Prince representative said it's unlikely Prince would have a response.

County officials also haven't heard from him about his late payments. As required, the county sent Prince a notification letter on Feb. 15 about the delinquencies, said taxpayer services manager Laurie Engelen. She said she and others are unaware of Prince responding to either the letter or the published list.

This isn't the first time Prince has procrastinated in paying property taxes. He was late in paying on his studio in 2006 and 2008, Engelen said. And he was late in 2008 paying on a 156-acre swath bordering his home. But he made good on those bills before the county, as required by law, published its notice of delinquent taxes in the local papers, Engelen said.

Prince, more renowned as an artist than businessman, has had financial difficulties in the past with paying creditors on time or at all, according to published reports in 1995.

The back taxes on four Carver County properties listed under Paisley Park Enterprises totals $24,085; seven properties listed under Prince R. Nelson total $260,485; and one property listed to PRN Music Corp. totals $221,891.

Unless Prince pays up, the county will file the delinquency with the court in May, Engelen said. But tax forfeiture on most of the properties wouldn't occur for three years, she said.

"The vast majority of cases never get to forfeiture," Engelen said.

The reasons for late tax payments vary, she said. Oftentimes, property owners say they're delinquent because of financial and medical hardships, Engelen said.

Prince pays up $1.3 million in taxes owed to Carver County

Last update: May 26, 2010 - 9:38 PM


Prince is no longer a tax pauper.

The reclusive rock star on Tuesday paid $1.3 million in current and delinquent property taxes that he owed on 14 parcels in Carver County, said Laurie Engelen, the county director of taxpayer services.

Engelen said the money, most of which had been delinquent for more than a year, covered 2009 and 2010 taxes, penalties and interest on the 14 parcels, including Paisley Park, his recording studio in Chanhassen.

The reclusive rock star made worldwide news in March when he was on a list of delinquent taxpayers published by Carver County. The county had sent Prince a notification letter on Feb. 15.

This was not the first time. He was late in paying on his studio in 2006 and 2008, county officials said. And he was late in 2008 paying on a 156-acre swath bordering his home. He made good on those bills before the county published its notice, as required by law.

Yeah it must feel aweful, but that's the price that you pay when your fans provide you with 100% of your wealth, and local government wants to exploit the situation to get their money. It seemed to work. Well in any case, I'm sure he's immune to it by now or else he would sell off some of that property since paying the taxes on that property appears to be an ongoing problem that he has. Oh well, glad he's outta the red, and I hope that he didn't have to get in the red to get out of the red.

All delinquent taxes are part of the public record and are usually published. The general media only picks up on it when rich and famous people refuse to pay up.

She said the city of Chanhassen had been talking with Prince and his representatives about getting caught up on the outstanding taxes. Most cities require that a property owner be current on tax payments in order to take out new permits.

Maybe needing new permits sped up his paying abilities wink

It had nothing to do with thinking he is broke. The fact that he is obviously not broke makes it even worse because then he just looks like a jerk for having millions and not paying his F ing taxes. We all bitch about having to pay taxes but we do it and we are just the everyday working folks. I assume Prince wants the Chanhassen streets paved, a competent fire department as well as a police department just in case one of us goes crazy and breaks into his house smile. Anyway, it just gives even more ammunition to the idiots like CJ when he does this stupid shit to apear that he is above the law.

geezzz!
Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

O LAWD!! Take a pill why don't you. Life is just too short to be worring your lil self about Prince's finances. So much that it would make your head spin.
Prince Paid his taxes and penalties, cj got her 10 seconds, and you got it off your chest.
Peace.

I think he planning on buying more property there. Since the news of moving trucks at Paisley Park got out. He needed to take care of those delinquencies first. I always knew he wasn't going broke. This proves it.

I dunno. Him doing now what he was supposed to do several months ago isn't as newsworthy as him not doing it when he was supposed to several months ago. IMO.

Actually cant believe that this thread is still going on...and on.. and on, especially since we have already learned that he was delinquent in taxes, and he paid those delinquent taxes off. What else is there to say for the tax year 2009 about Prince and his taxes? How bout a re-play in like 2011 about his ability to pay 2010 taxes? beatdeadhorse
