About Property Taxes
Property taxes cover several major types of property - Real Estate, Personal Property and Manufactured Homes to name a few. After property is classified, calculations are performed by rules established by Minnesota State Statute, which are followed statewide. Levies are submitted to the Auditor-Treasurer’s office and Tax Rates are determined.
The tax rate is calculated against the value of the property and the amount of taxes and credits are determined for your property under the guidelines of the Minnesota State Statutes, again statewide. Special Assessments are added to your property tax and if your property classification (Commercial, Industrial, and Seasonal Recreation) determines you should have Minnesota State Tax, this is also added.
See the Minnesota Department of Revenue Publication Understanding Property Taxes for more information and calculation methods used in the determination of your Property Tax.
