RAMSEY COUNTY: Property Tax And Valuation Process Changes Due to COVID-19

Propertytax

Ramsey County issued the following announcement on April 2

 Ramsey County recognizes there are questions about property tax payment deadlines due to the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic and its impact on our community. The county is working with local and state partners on options to create flexibility for taxpayers facing financial hardship.

The existing deadline for first half property tax payments is May 15. Ramsey County is working to identify options in the weeks ahead to share with taxpayers before this deadline.

Questioning or appealing your valuation

Annual property valuation notices and tax statements for 2020 were mailed to Ramsey County property owners in mid-March. Valuation notices include your property classification, estimated market value and taxable market value, which is used to determine property taxes payable in 2021.

Digital copies of the valuation notice and tax statement are available in the tax and value lookup system.

Please review your valuation notice carefully. If you believe there is an error, now is the time to appeal or question your classification or valuation. It will be too late to appeal when proposed taxes are mailed in November. The first step in the process is to contact the Assessor’s Office about your questions or concerns at 651-266-2131.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, the 2020 open book meetings will be held via phone April 6 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and April 7 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you choose to formally appeal your property value to the County Board of Appeal and Equalization, the appeal forms must be postmarked by May 8.
