<br /> - <br /> . <br /> . <br /> 1996 TNT Notices (4) 11/1/95 . <br /> Tax Appeals Available <br /> The only way at this time that property owners can appeal their <br /> property values is by filing a petition for review with tax court <br /> by March 31, 1996. The Tax Court has two divisions - the regular <br /> division, whose decisions may be appealed, and the small claims <br /> division, whose decisions are final. If the property is homestead, <br /> the appeal can be made to either division. Property owners were <br /> previously given the opportunity to appeal their values when value <br /> notices were mailed in March or at the County Board of Equalization <br /> in June. <br /> The only other way that 1996 taxes can still be changed is by <br /> reducing the property tax levy itself. By attending the TNT hearing, <br /> taxpayers can recommend reductions in each taxing authority's 1996 <br /> tax levy. - <br /> Property Tax Relief <br /> - <br /> The legislature provides several different types of property tax <br /> relief. The homeowner's and renter's rebates are given to ~ <br /> taxpayers whose property taxes are disproportionate to their <br /> income. More importantly, a targeting refund is available for - <br /> homeowners whose taxes increase by more than 12% from the - <br /> prior year. No income limits apply to this refund. Property e. <br /> owners file for the refunds using state form M1-PR which is sent <br /> out with state income tax instructions. The M1-PR form can also <br /> be obtained at post offices, libraries and most banks or by I <br /> calling 296-3781 (24 hours/day) or by writing to: <br /> Minnesota Tax Forms <br /> Mail Station 7131 I <br /> St. Paul, MN 55146-7131. <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> .. <br /> --.. <br /> I <br />
