Senior relief
Minnesota Senior Citizens' Property Tax Deferral Program: applicant must be 65+ (or one spouse 65+ and the other 62+), total household income $96,000 or less, and must have owned and homesteaded the home for the last five years; the homeowner pays up to 3% of household income and applies by November 1 for the following year's taxes. The deferred balance is a state loan secured by the property; other Minnesota refunds and disability/veteran programs may also apply.
Valuation limits
No general countywide annual valuation cap was verified for Minnesota. Estimated market value is set under Minnesota law; taxable market value can differ because of homestead, veteran, agricultural, Green Acres, Rural Preserve, and other statutory exclusions, credits, or deferrals.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
