(If a residential property is the primary residence of a qualifying relative of an owner, it is not necessary for the owner to be a Minnesota resident.)

By decreasing the taxable market value, net property taxes are also decreased. For homesteads valued at $76,000 or less, the exclusion is 40% of the market value, creating a maximum exclusion of $30,400. The exclusion is reduced as property values increase, and phases out for homesteads valued at $413,800 or more.

You must live in the home to qualify for the tax break. Some states exempt a certain percentage of a home's value from property taxes, while other states exempt a set dollar amount. If your state uses a percentage method, the exemption will be more valuable to homeowners with more valuable homes.

There are two types of property tax refunds in Minnesota. One is income based and you may apply for this if your household income is less than $128,280; you owned and occupied a home in Minnesota; are filing a refund for 2021 or later; did not rent out your home; and did not use your home for business.
