Homestead Applications Minnesota State Law provides for a reduction to the general property tax for certain property that is occupied as a person's primary place of residence. These properties fall under the homestead classification.
A person who meets the requirements for the homestead classification must file a homestead application with the county assessor to initially obtain the homestead classification.
To apply for homestead, the owner must own and occupy the property as their primary residence or the property may be occupied by a qualifying relative of the owner on January 2nd of the assessment year.
All completed applications must be returned by mail or in person to our office. Faxed or e-mailed forms will be rejected. At any time, the county assessor may require you to provide an additional application or other proof deemed necessary to verify that you continue to qualify for the homestead classification.
The following forms are available online. Please click on the link that pertains.
If you sell, move or change your marital status If this property is sold, you or your spouse changes your primary residence, or you change your marital status, state law requires you to notify the county assessor within 30 days. If you fail to notify the county assessor within 30 days of the change, the property may be assessed the tax that is due on the property based on its correct property class plus a penalty equal to the same amount. |
