VALUATIONS
<br />OVERVIEW
<br />All non-exempt property is subject to taxation by local taxing districts. Exempt real property includes Indian lands, public property, and
<br />educational, religious and charitable institutions. Most personal property is exempt from taxation (except investor -owned utility mains,
<br />generating plants, etc.).
<br />The valuation of property in Minnesota consists of three elements. (1) The estimated market value is set by city or county assessors. Not less
<br />than 20% of all real properties are to be appraised by local assessors each year. (2) The taxable market value is the estimated market value
<br />adjusted by all legislative exclusions. (3) The tax capacity (taxable) value of property is determined by class rates set by the State Legislature.
<br />The tax capacity rate varies according to the classification of the property. Tax capacity represents a percent of taxable market value.
<br />The property tax rate for a local taxing jurisdiction is determined by dividing the total tax capacity or market value of property within the
<br />jurisdiction into the dollars to be raised from the levy. State law determines whether a levy is spread on tax capacity or market value. Major
<br />classifications and the percentages by which tax capacity is determined are:
