HOW MINNESOTA APPEALS WORK
THE SHORT VERSION

Minnesota sets your estimated market value each year, and your spring value notice lists your appeal dates. You appeal to the local and county boards of appeal and equalization, or petition the Tax Court by April 30 of the year taxes are payable. An appeal helps when your value is above market.

WHEN AN APPEAL MAKES SENSE
  • Your estimated market value is above what your home would sell for.
  • The record has an error in your home’s size, condition, or features, or the classification is wrong.
  • You appeal at the spring board meetings on your notice, or petition the Tax Court by April 30 of the year taxes are payable.
WHEN IT USUALLY WILL NOT
  • Your bill went up but your value is fair. A higher bill often comes from the tax rate, not the value.
  • You have no market evidence. The appeal reviews your value, not the size of your bill.

In Minnesota, your county assessor sets your home’s estimated market value and classification each year, and the value notice you get in the spring lists the meeting dates to appeal. You can appeal to your local and county boards of appeal and equalization in the spring, or petition the Minnesota Tax Court by April 30 of the year the taxes are payable. An appeal helps when your estimated market value is above what your home would sell for, or the record has an error. It usually will not help just because your bill went up. This is general information, not tax advice.
