Claim the Minnesota property tax refund. The regular refund is for property owners who meet certain guidelines; the special refund, regardless of income, pays back 60% of a tax increase beyond 12% and $100 from the prior year, up to $1,000. How: File with the Minnesota Department of Revenue by August 15; you may file up to one year late.
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.
