How it works

Property tax in Hennepin County begins with a taxable value used for property tax calculation. This value may differ from market value because classification rules, exclusions, and state adjustments can affect the taxable amount. Multiple local taxing authorities, including the county, city, school district, and special districts, each set their own tax levy. These levies are combined into a single effective property tax rate, often expressed in mills, meaning tax per $1,000 of taxable value. This combined rate is applied to the taxable value to estimate annual property tax. Because tax rates vary by location, properties in different cities or school districts within Hennepin County may have different total tax rates even if their values are similar.

Examples

Example 1: A taxable value of $300,000 with a combined local rate of 18.5 mills, equal to 1.85%, results in an estimated annual property tax of approximately $5,550. Example 2: A taxable value of $500,000 with the same combined rate results in an estimated annual property tax of approximately $9,250. Example 3: A taxable value of $750,000 with a combined rate of 18.5 mills results in an estimated annual property tax of approximately $13,875. These examples use a sample combined rate. Actual property tax rates vary by location within Hennepin County and may differ from this estimate.
