Homesteads. Homestead is a program to reduce property taxes for owners who also occupy their home and are a Minnesota resident. You can qualify for this tax reduction if you own and occupy your house as your main place of residence or are a relative of an owner living in the owner's house.
This program has two main benefits for qualifying homeowners: It reduces the Taxable Market Value of the property (for properties valued under $414,000 only), thereby lowering taxes, and. It is one of the qualifying factors for homeowners to receive the State of Minnesota Property Tax Refund.
You may qualify for homestead if you answer yes to any of these statements: You are a Minnesota resident. You own the property in your own name — not as a business entity. You live in the property year-round. You or your property co-owner have a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number.
The homestead exemption is a statewide property tax reduction program for senior citizens, those who are disabled, and surviving spouses of fallen first responders.
For residential homesteads, the rate is 1% on the first $500,000 in market value and 1.25% on everything above $500,000. So if your home is worth $400,000, the net tax capacity is $4,000. Local taxes collected to support ongoing government functions (and not temporary projects) apply to that net tax capacity.

The form is available on the Department of Taxation's website and is also available from county auditors.
