Bill > HF2968

This bill modifies Minnesota's property tax laws by amending section 273.063 to place specific limitations on county levy for assessment services in counties with a first-class city and a population over 400,000 (which likely refers to Hennepin County, which contains Minneapolis). The bill restricts the county levy for assessment services to two primary purposes: (1) covering administrative and supervisory duties as defined in specific clauses of section 273.061, subdivision 8, and (2) providing assessment services for smaller cities with populations under 30,000. Currently, county assessors have jurisdiction over property assessment in most counties, with some exceptions for larger cities that have their own city assessors. The bill maintains existing provisions about city and county assessor responsibilities while introducing a more precise funding mechanism for assessment services in large counties. The changes will become effective with the 2026 assessment year, giving local governments time to adjust their budgeting and assessment processes accordingly.
