Minnesota Property Tax refund

The deadline for filing for a property tax refund is August 15th, 2022. I want to get that out of the way so no one gets too stressed out over it.

The refund is partial and it is mostly based on income. If your income is too high you won’t qualify The process isn’t intuitive and I think there are people who don’t realize there is a refund for homeowners and renters but it has to be applied for.

Go to the Minnesota Department of revenue for forms and instructions. There are other programs too, but you need to first file a state income tax return. There are forms on the site and online filing. Just don’t forget to do it because if you do you won’t get a refund.

One strategy is to fill out the paperwork after your income taxes are done and mail it in. Property tax statements are available on your county website.

  1. I learned that it’s still possible this year to apply for the 2020 property tax refund (apparently we forgot to file last year). Filers still need to have filed a Minnesota tax return for 2020 but if others are in our boat, they can still apply for the refund.
