5 Percent cap limits Minnesota property assessments
Minnesota property owners will receive revised assessment notices under a 5 percent yearly cap in the 1973 reform law. The rule applies to homes, farm property, seasonal cottages, and apartments but not to new construction or commercial property, potentially freezing valuations while true market values rise. Two market values will exist: a 5 percent cap value and the actual market value, affecting taxes for different owners.
