When will I receive my tax statement?
Per MN Statutes Sec. 276.04, statement of real property taxes due shall be mailed not later than March 31st, except in cases of manufactured homes and sectional structures taxed as personal property. The Treasurer's office mails these normally by July 15th. We do not mail second half statements. Taxpayers are responsible for the payment of their property taxes and this is not affected by a failure of the county to provide a statement for a parcel.
Why did I receive a tax statement if I escrow my taxes?
Tax Statements are mailed to the property owners. Your escrow company also receives your tax information from our office. You may need your tax statement for tax filing purposes and property tax refunds if applicable. Your escrowed tax statements have bold print stating, "Do not pay, taxes are escrowed."
What if I purchase my property after the Tax Statement has been mailed?
Please contact the Treasurer's office. If you do not receive the Tax Statement, you can obtain it online or by contacting the Treasurer's office. It will be the taxpayer's responsibility to make sure they receive a copy of the tax statement.
I just bought property, who pays the taxes?
Please check your closing statement or contact the realtor or attorney who handled the transaction for you. Any delinquent taxes must be paid at closing.
If I misplace my Tax Statement, can I get another copy?
Yes, a copy of your tax statement can be obtained online or by contacting the Treasurer's office.

Your tax statement indicates when your payments are due, or see the payment schedule on this site. (Click here for the schedule).
Do you accept postmark date?
Yes. Your mailed tax payment must be postmarked by the due date for it to be considered paid on time, or a penalty will apply.
Will I receive a reminder if I don't pay my taxes by the due date?
The Treasurer's office sends out courtesy letters when taxes are not paid for the current year. The letters will include added penalty and fees.
Will my name appear in the paper if I don't pay my property taxes? If so, when?
Any property taxes not paid before January 1 of the following year are considered delinquent. The Delinquent Tax list is printed in the newspaper in March each year.
Am I eligible for a Property Tax refund?
To determine if you are eligible for the Property Tax Refund, you must complete form M1PR. You can download the form and other tax-related information from the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
What is the Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral Program?
The Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral Program is not a tax forgiveness program - it is a low interest loan from the state. The deferred tax is paid by the state to your county. Interest will be charged on this loan. The Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral Program was established to help senior citizens who were having difficulty paying their property taxes. For more information on the Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral Program, please click here.
What do I need to do before I move my Mobile Home?
You need a Mobile Home Clearance Sheet from the Treasurer's office. It states that all delinquent and current taxes are paid in full. Any taxes not paid will need to be paid before the mobile home can be moved. Contact the Treasurer's office for more information.
What has to be done when I sell my Mobile Home?
Property taxes on any mobile home need to be paid before the title can be transferred. If your mobile home still has a title, you are responsible for transferring it. You may still be liable for the property taxes if the title isn't transferred.
