Table of Chapters ) Table of contents for Chapter 274 274.01 Board of review. Subdivision 1. Ordinary board; meetings, deadlines, grievances. (a) The town board of a town, or the councilor other governing body of a city, is the board of review except (1) in cities whose charters provide for a board of eq~alization or (2) in any city or town that has transferred its local board of review power and duties to the county board as provided in s~bdivision 3. The co~nty assessor shall fix a day and time when the board or the board of equalization shall meet in the assessment districts of the county. On or before February 15 of each year the assessor shall give written notice of the time to the city or town clerk. Notwithstanding the provisions of any charter to the contrary, the meetings must be held between April 1 and May 31 each year. The clerk shall give published and posted notice of the meeting at least ten days before the date of the meeting. \ ) If in any county, at least 25 percent of the total net tax capacity of a city or town is noncommercial seasonal residential recreational property classified under section 273.c3, subdivision 25, the county must hold two countywide informational meetings on Saturdays. The meetings will allow noncommercial seasonal residential recreational taxpayers to discuss their property valuation with the appropriate assessment staff. These Saturday informational meetings must be scheduled to allow the owner of the noncommercial seasonal residential recreational property the opportunity to attend one of the meetings prior to the scheduled board of review for their city or town. The Saturday meeting dates m~st be contained on the notice of valuation of =ea1 property u~de= sect~on 273.:21. The board shall meet at the office of the clerk to review the assessment and classification of property in the town or city. No changes in valuation or classification which are intended to correct errors in judgment by the county assessor may be made by the county assessor after the board of review in those cities or towns that hold a local board of review; however, corrections of errors that are merely clerical in nature or changes that extend homestead treatment to property are permitted after adjournment until the tax extension date for that assessment year. The changes must be fully documented and maintained in the assessor's office and must be available for review by any person. A copy of the changes made during this period in those cities or towns that hold a local board of review must be sent to the county board no later than December 31 of the assessment year. \, (b) The board shall determine whether the taxable property in the town or city has been properly placed on the list and properly valued by the assessor. If real or personal property has been omitted, the board shall place it on the list with its market value, and correct the assessment so that each tract or lot of real property, and each article, parcel, or class of personal property, is entered on the assessment list at its market value. No assessment of the property of any person may be raised unless the person has been duly notified of the intent of the board to do so. On application of any person feeling aggrieved, the board shall review the assessment or / lof3 03/13/9813:57:06 \1innesota Statutes 1997,274_0 I http://www_revisor.leg.state_mn_us/st97/274/0(.hlInl classification, or both, and correct it as appears just. '- ) (c) A local board of review may reduce assessments upon petition of the taxpayer but the total reductions must not reduce the aggregate assessment made by the county assessor by more than one percent. If the total reductions would lower the aggregate assessments made by the county assessor by more than one percent, none of the adjustments may be made. The assessor shall correct any clerical errors or double assessments discovered by the board of review without regard to the one percent limitation. (d) A majority of the members may act at the meeting, and adjourn from day to day until they finish hearing the cases presented. The assessor shall attend, with the assessment books and papers, and take pare in the proceedings, but must not vote. The county assessor, or an assistant delegated by the county assessor shall attend the meetings. The board shall list separately, on a form appended to the assessment book, all omitted property added to the list by the board and all items of property increased or decreased, with the market value of each item of property, added or changed by the board, placed opposite the item. The county assessor shall enter all changes made by the board in the assessment book. :J (e) Except as provided in subdivision 3, if a person fails to appear in person, by counsel, or by written co~~unication before the board after being duly notified of the board's intent to raise the assessment of the property, or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or classification fails to apply for a review of the assessment or classification, the person may not appear before the county board of equalization for a review of the assessment or classification. This paragraph does not apply if an assessment was made after the board meeting, as provided in section 273.01, or if the person can establish not having received notice of market value at least five days before the local board of review meeting. (f) The board of review or the board of equalization must complete its work and adjourn within 20 days from the time of convening stated in the notice of the clerk, unless a longer period is approved by the commissioner of revenue. No action taken after that date is valid. All complaints about an assessment or classification made after the meeting of the board must be heard and determined by the county board of equalization. A nonresident may, at any time, before the meeting of the board of review file written objections to an assessment or classification with the county assessor. The objections must be presented to the board of review at its meeting by the county assessor for its consideration. \ ) Subd. 2. Special board; duties delegated. The governing body of a city, including a city whose charter provides for a board of equalization, may appoint a special board of review. The city may delegate to the special board of review all of the powers and duties in subdivision 1. The special board of review shall serve at the direction and discretion of the appointing body, subject to the restrictions imposed by law. The appointing body shall determine the number of members of the board, the compensation and expenses to be paid, and the term of office of each member.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT YOUR PROPERTY TAX The tax you pay next year is determined by three factors: (1) the property's taxable market value, (2) the classification of the property, and (3) the amount of money spent by local taxing jurisdictions. If you disagree with either your property valuation or classification, you may appeal to your Local Board of Review and County Board of Equalization. Comments you have concerning local taxing jurisdictionr', spending should be made at Truth in Taxation hearings held in the fall of the year. Budget decisions that affect the following year's property taxes are made at these meetings. Minnesota property taxes are based on the value and use of the property on January 2 of the preceding year. This one year lag is to allow property owners to appeal any property determination made by the assessor. The appeal process is stated below. FORMAL APPEAL PROCESS Three Step Appeal Step One: Local Board of Review. You may appeal your property's valuation or classification to the City or Town Board of Review at the time and place listed on the front of this notice. This appeal may be in person, by representative, or in writing to the board of review. If you are not satisfied with the decision of the Local Board of Review, you may appeal to the County Board of Equalization. Note: An appeal to the Local Board of Review is required before proceeding to the County Board of Equalization. Step Two: County Board of Equalization. Appeals to the County Board of Equalization may be made in person, by representative, or in writing. To schedule an appointment for your appeal, call (612) 323-5475. If you are dissatisfied with the results of this appeal you may file a petition with the Tax Court. Step Three: Tax Court. The Small Claims Division requires that you must have first appealed to the Local Board of Review and the County Board of Equalization and limits the classification and market value that may be appealed. The ReQular Division will hear all appeals. One Step Appeal Appeals may be made directly to the Regular Division of the Tax Court. All appeals must be filed on or before March 31 of the year the tax becomes payable. Specific instructions for appealing to Tax Court can be obtained by contacting the Minnesota Tax Court at 25 Constitution Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55155, or, from the court administrator of the county in which your property is located. I IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT => Only one tax statement per parcel is mailed per year, statements are mailed in mid to late March. A change in the ownership recorded after January 1 of the current year, will not initiate the mailing of a new tax statement. The statement will be sent to the previous owner/or taxpayer. Mortgage refinance and/or satisfaction, and sale are common reasons for a change in the current year taxpayer and require a request for a duplicate tax statement. => If you have paid off or refinanced your mortgage and were escrowing your tax payment, you are responsible for paying the taxes due. Failure to timely pay your taxes due to not receiving or having a tax statement will not forgive the imposition of penalty and interest. If you have not received your tax statement{s) by April 1st of any year, please call => (612)323-5400 and request a duplicate. HOMESTEAD: Property currently classified as homestead will not be mailed a homestead r => verification card and will continue to be classified as homestead as long as the property is \ occupied by the owner or qualifying relative as their principal place of residence. Any change in the occupancy status of homestead property requires notification to the County Assessor.
