2026 fiscal calendar
Know the tax date before it becomes a penalty date.
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The verified record below separates published figures from dates that require confirmation with Carver County Property Assessment & Homesteading and Property Tax Department.
Effective rate
Minnesota local property-tax rates vary by county, city/township, school district, and other taxing authority; no single countywide effective rate is published.
Statement mailing
March 18, 2026 — Carver County states property tax statements and valuation notices for real estate and mobile homes were mailed on this date.
Payment deadline
2026 Carver County schedule: real/personal property statements mailed by March 31; first half May 15; manufactured-home statement by July 15 and first half August 31; second-half real estate October 15; second-half agricultural real estate and manufactured homes November 15 (next business day when applicable).
Valuation protest
Local Boards of Appeal and Equalization meet April–May 2026; taxpayers must appear locally before the County Board, and an appointment for the County Board was required before June 1, 2026. Minnesota Tax Court appeal for taxes payable in 2026 was due April 30, 2026.
Critical payment warning
Do not assume a grace period.
The verified county record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat the published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
Read the calendar in order
From assessment to collection
1. Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
2. Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
3. Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
