Homestead

After moving into a new home, residents can apply for homestead. Qualifying applicants can receive a market value exclusion, which may reduce their property taxes the following year. Homestead is a Minnesota property tax classification for residential properties occupied as a primary residence by the owner or qualifying relative of the owner.

Qualifications
To qualify for homestead, you must be the property owner or a relative or in-law of the owner. You must occupy the property as your primary residence and be a Minnesota resident.

To determine that you meet the above criteria, the County Assessor may ask you to verify your Minnesota driver's license address, the address where you are registered to vote, primary mailing address or other information.

Application Process and Details
Applications for properties in Hennepin County are made to and approved by the Hennepin County Assessor.

After purchasing and moving into a new home, apply for homestead as soon as possible. You may apply for homestead at any time during the year. You must own and occupy a property and apply for residential homestead by Dec. 31 to qualify for taxes payable in the following year.
