Don’t Miss Out: File for Homestead Status Before March 1st!

If you bought a home in Minnesota in 2024 (or haven’t filed yet), this is your friendly reminder to apply for homestead status before March 1st—a simple step that could save you thousands on property taxes.

Why It Matters:

✅ Lowers your taxable home value = lower property taxes
✅ Protects you from sharp tax increases in the future
✅ Qualifies you for additional tax benefits & exemptions

Who Should Apply?

If you own and occupy your home as your primary residence, you likely qualify!

How to File:

📍 Visit your county assessor’s office website (Google your county name and the word “homestead” and you’ll get there)
📄 Complete a quick form (you’ll typically need your deed and ID)
⏳ Submit by March 1st to lock in savings for this year

Let me know if you have any questions – I’m happy to help!
