The honest version of what this site can tell you
The assessed value is the county's opinion of your property's market value on January 2. It decides your share of next year's tax bill. Counties value hundreds of thousands of parcels with mass-appraisal models, and models miss things: condition, a bad lot, a remodel that never happened. When the model is wrong, Minnesota gives you three appeal routes, each with real deadlines. This site shows you the county's numbers and the deadlines, and explains the routes in plain English. It cannot tell you what your home would actually sell for, and anyone who claims to know that from data alone is guessing.
Frequently asked questions
- Where does the assessed value on this site come from?
- From the seven metro counties' own parcel data, published through the MetroGIS Regional Parcel Dataset and the Metropolitan Council's public parcel service. We show the county's number, not an estimate of our own, with the date we last verified it.
- Why is the value here different from my valuation notice?
- County files are published on a lag. The number on the valuation notice in your mailbox is the official one, and it controls your appeal deadlines. If the two disagree, trust the notice.
- Is my address search saved?
- No. Lookups are anonymous, are answered and forgotten, and are never stored or tied to you. The only information this site ever keeps is what you type into a form and submit yourself.
- What does the assessed value actually decide?
- Your property's share of next year's tax levy. The value set on January 2 controls the tax you pay the following year. A higher assessment does not raise the total taxes your city collects, but it moves more of the bill onto your property.
