Statewide Residential Benchmark
A broad statewide benchmark for Minnesota is an effective property tax rate of about 1.05% of home value. On a $400,000 residential property, that equals about $4,200 per year. This is a statewide comparison point, not a guarantee of what any parcel will owe.
Basic statewide deadlines

Then confirm the current year’s instructions with your county assessor, local board, municipality, or state tax authority, especially if a deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday.
