Some cities manage their own.

If your property is in one of the following cities, contact your local assessor.

• Bloomington
• Eden Prairie
• Minneapolis
• Minnetonka
• St. Louis Park

2nd notice - Proposed levies & taxes notice

This notice goes out in November.

The notice shows an estimate of what your taxes will be the following year.

It doesn't include special assessments that may be added to your final bill.

It includes the meeting information for when you can provide input on proposed budget and levies that affect your bill. These are called truth-in-taxation meetings.

This statement goes out in March. 

It shows a detailed breakdown of the taxes due and includes payment stubs.

The first half is due in May and the second half is due in October.
