SUMMARY OF TAX.LEVIES,.PAYMENT PROVISIONS, AND MINNESOTA REAL PROPERTY VALUATION The foIlowin summary g ' is a. of certain statutory provisions effective beginning 2011 relative to tax levy procedures, .tax payment and credit procedures, and the mechanics of real property valuation. The. summary does not purport to be inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions discussed, and is qualified by reference to the complete text of applicable statutes, rules and regulations of the State of Minnesota. Property Valuations (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes) Assessor's Estimated Market Value Each parcel of real property subject to taxation must, by statute,.. be appraised at least. once every five years as of January 2 of the year of appraisal. With certain exceptions, all property is valued at its market value; which is, the value. the assessor determines to be the price the.: property to be fairly worth, and which. is referred to as the "Estimated Market Value," Taxable Market Value The Taxable Market Value is the value that property taxes are based on, after all reductions; limitations, exemptions. and deferrals. It is. also the value used to calculate a municipality's legal debt limit. Indicated Market Value The Indicated Market Value is determined bydividing the Taxable Market Value of a given year by the same year's sales ratio determined by the State Department of Revenue. The Indicated Market Value serves to eliminate disparities between individual assessors and. equalize property values statewide. Net Tax Capacity The Net Tax Capac€ty is the value upon which net taxes are levied, extended and collected. The Net Tax Capacity is computed by applying the class rate percentages specific to each type.of property classification.against the Taxable Market Value. Class rate percentages vary depending on the. type of property as shown on the 101 page of the Appendix. The formulas and class rates for converting Taxable Market Value to Net Tax Capacity represent a basic element of the State's property tax. relief system and are subject to annual revisions by the State Legislature. Property taxes. are determined by multiplying the Net Tax Capacity by the tax capacity rate, plus multiplying the. referendum market value .by the market value rate..
