The market value of your home multiplied by the assessment ratio in your area equals the assessed value of your property for tax purposes. The assessment of your property will depend on your county's practices.

Answer: The taxable value is the value on which property taxes are calculated. It can be found on the property tax statement or by contacting the local assessor.

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.

Contact your local Property Tax Office and ask them for the appraised value of your homestead property - that would be the "taxable value" of your homestead property. You would also see this value on your annual property tax statement.

In some cases, a local government will assess taxes on only a percentage of the value of the property. To calculate the assessed value when a local government uses such a percentage, you'll have to take the property's fair market value and multiply it by the chosen percentage.

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 can check your local assessor or municipality's website, or call the tax office for a more exact figure for your home. You can also search by state, county, and ZIP code on publicrecordsronline.
