"Property tax notices are hitting hard this year but youre not stuck without options. ๐ฌ๐ฅ There are a few smart moves every Minnesota homeowner should think about right now. Start by looking at your homes valuation. If your assessed value jumped more than similar homes in your neighborhood you might be getting overcharged. Pull a few recent sales and compare. If the numbers dont match you can appeal it during the spring window. That step alone can lower your bill. Next review your truth in taxation notice to see which part of government is driving the increase. Your city county and school"
