Assessor's Property Valuation ProcessIn March of each year, the County sends out tax notifications based on the Assessors valuation of each property. If there are questions about the value placed on a property, the best first step is to call the Assessor's office at the phone number listed on the County notice. If the property owner does not reach agreement with the Assessor, then they may appeal to the Minneapolis Board of Appeal and Equalization. After application to the Board, all applications to the Board are reviewed by the Assessor to see if agreement can be reached with the applicant before the Board meeting.
