How Property Tax is Calculated

Property tax is calculated by multiplying your property’s assessed market value by the applicable class rate, then applying combined local levies from county, city, school, and special districts. Taxes payable in 2026 are based on property values assessed in 2025.

  1. Step 1: Assessed Market Value:
    The County Assessor determines the market value of your property each year.
  2. Step 2: Tax Capacity:
    Minnesota applies class rates based on property type (e.g., 1% for residential homesteads).
  3. Step 3: Local Levy:
    County, city, school district, and special district levies combine to determine the final tax rate.
  4. Step 4: Annual Property Tax:
    Multiply the tax capacity by the total levy percentage to determine your annual property tax.

2026 Estimated Impact by Property Type:

  • Residential Homestead: Moderate increase.
  • Rental / Non-Homestead: Slightly higher impact.
  • Commercial / Industrial: Higher exposure due to class rates.
  • Apartments (4+ Units): Moderate to higher impact.

Expert Insight: Levy vs. Tax Rate

Many property owners confuse levy and tax rate:

  • Levy: Total amount local governments plan to collect.
  • Tax rate: Percentage applied to your property’s taxable value.
  • Effective tax rate: Your final tax divided by property market value.

Property taxes fluctuate due to adjustments in levies, increases in market value, or renovations. Understanding both levy adjustments and valuation notices is essential for accurate property planning.

How to Appeal Your Property Assessment

If you believe your property’s assessed value is too high, you can file a formal appeal before the deadline. Successful appeals can reduce your property tax liability.
