What are the maximums? For refund claims filed in 2024, based on property taxes payable in 2024 and 2023 household income, the maximum refund is $3,310. Homeowners whose income exceeds $135,410 are not eligible for a refund.

You may file for the Property Tax Refund on paper or electronically. The due date is August 15. You may file up to one year after the due date.

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.

For homesteads valued at $95,000 or less, the exclusion is 40% of the market value, creating a maximum exclusion of $38,000. The exclusion is reduced as property values increase and phases out for homesteads valued at $517,200 or more.

To qualify for homestead: You must own the property, or be a relative or in-law of the owner (son, daughter, parent, grandchild, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew). You or your relative must occupy the property as the primary place of residence. You must 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.

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.
