PROPERTY VALUATION <br />The following is a summary of certain statutory provisions effective beginning 2011 relative to.tax <br />levy procedures, tax payment and credit.procedures, and the. mechanics of real property valuation. <br />The summary does not purport to be inclusive of all such provisions or of the specific provisions <br />discussed., and is qualified by reference to the complete.text. of applicable statutes, rules and <br />regulations of the State at Minnesota.. <br />Property Valuations (Chapter 273, Minnesota Statutes) <br />Assessor's Estimated Market Value <br />Each parcel of real property subject to taxation must, by statute, be appraised at least once every <br />five years as of January 2 of the. year of appraisal. With certain exceptions, all property is valued at <br />its market value; which is the value the assessor determines to be the price the property to be fairly <br />worth, and which is referred to as the "Estimated Market Value." <br />Taxable Market Value <br />The Taxable Market Value is the value that property taxes are based on,.after all reductions, <br />limitations, exemptions and deferrals. It is also the value: used to caledlate.a municipality's legal <br />debt limit. <br />Indicated Market Value <br />The Indicated Market Value is determined by dividing the Taxable Market Value of a given year by <br />the same year's sales ratio determined by the State Department of Revenue. The Indicated Market <br />Value serves to eliminate disparities between individual assessors and equalize property values <br />statewide. <br />Net Tax CaDacit <br />The Net Tax Capacity is the value upon which net taxes are levied, extended and. collected.
