Homestead Reminder!

If you have not completed your homestead application for the year, you should complete it now.

To qualify for a homestead, you must:

• Own a property

• Occupy the property as your sole or primary residence

• Be a Minnesota resident

Apply to your county assessor by December 31 to qualify for taxes payable the next year. 

You must provide the Social Security Number for:

• All owners who occupy the property

• The spouse of each owner, even if they do not live at the location

Once granted homestead classification, you do not need to reapply. The county assessor may at any time ask you to submit an additional application or provide other documentation to verify that you continue to meet the requirements for homestead classification.
