Champlin property tax: where it goes

A Champlin house pays 1.487% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $351,000 of value before exemptions with the homestead exemption, that's about $4,148 a year.

Tax is levied on estimated market value, less the homestead market value exclusion, times the class rate (1.00% on the first $500,000, 1.25% above) gives tax capacity, which is taxed at the local tax capacity rates; school referendum levies are a separate rate on market value.

Ways to pay less

Apply for homestead by December 31. Homestead status can save you money on your property taxes. The homestead market value exclusion is 40% of value for homesteads valued at $95,000 or less (a maximum of $38,000), is reduced as values rise, and phases out at $517,200 or more. How: Apply with Hennepin County: you must own, occupy and apply by December 31.
Claim the Minnesota property tax refund. Minnesota homeowners may get a Property Tax Refund based on income and property taxes. How: File Form M1PR with the Minnesota Department of Revenue by August 15 (late filing allowed up to one year).
Seniors 65+: defer part of your property tax. With the Senior Citizens Property Tax Deferral, the tax you pay is 3% of household income and the state pays the rest as a loan, repaid with interest when you sell or cancel. How: You must be 65 or older (if married, the other spouse at least 62) with household income of $96,000 or less; apply by November 1.
Paid property tax late? Ask for a penalty abatement. Hennepin County lets owners request an abatement of the late-payment penalty once every ten years, for current-year taxes. How: Pay the tax in full, then apply by June 30 (first half) or November 30 (second half).
