Frequently Asked Questions

How your property is classified and/or the tax amount, will determine when your taxes are due.

If any of the due dates fall on a weekend, the taxes are due the next business day.

No, there is not a grace period when paying your property taxes.

If you pay your first half or second half property tax after the due dates, a penalty will be added to your tax. The later you pay the greater the penalty you must pay. 

The taxes for Personal Property located on leased government-owned land may be paid in two installments which are due at the same time as real estate property taxes, and which are subject to the same penalty schedule and penalty rates as real estate property taxes. All other Personal Property taxes are due in full on or before May 15 each year.

Note to manufactured homeowners: The title to your manufactured home cannot be transferred unless all current year and delinquent personal property taxes are paid at the time of transfer.

Not necessarily. While a higher property value can increase your home’s taxable tax capacity, it doesn’t automatically raise your tax bill. In Minnesota, your property taxes are determined by your local government’s annual budget (levy) and how your property’s value changes relative to other properties in your community—not by your value alone.
