How to Appeal Your Minnesota Property Taxes

Filing a property tax appeal in Minnesota is your legal right. Here is the basic process:

  1. Review your annual assessment notice from your local assessor.
  2. File your appeal before the deadline (April 30).
  3. Gather evidence: recent comparable sales, photos of property condition issues, and any independent appraisals.
  4. Attend a hearing or submit your evidence for review.
  5. Receive a decision on your assessed value.

TaxDrop handles this entire process for you. Our experts analyze your property, build your case, and represent you. You only pay if we save you $500 or more.
