SF 4262 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Property tax task force establishment provision

This bill establishes a temporary property tax task force in Minnesota to study ways to reduce property taxes on homestead properties, which are residential homes and surrounding land. The task force will investigate current tax relief measures, compare how different property tax classifications affect homeowners, and analyze tax burden trends from 2015 through 2025. The group consists of state legislators, the commissioner of revenue, and representatives from county, city, and township associations who will meet publicly and submit recommendations by February 2027. The task force operates without compensation for members and will dissolve once it submits its final report to the legislature.
