Homesteading property tax refund programs

St. Louis County is reminding people whose home has homestead classification that two programs may get them property tax refunds.

The two programs are the regular homestead credit and the special homestead credit. You may qualify for either or both programs.

To qualify for the regular homestead credit, your property taxes need to be higher than a set percentage of your household income. Your income also needs to be under $139,320 for 2024.

To qualify for the special homestead credit, your net property tax amount must have increased by 12% or more since last year. That increase has to be more than $100 and can’t be because of construction.

You can apply for the two programs by filling out a M1PR application form available at the Minnesota Department of Revenue website here.
