Roseville property tax: where it goes
A Roseville house pays 1.945% of its taxable value in property tax. For a house at $378,500 of value before exemptions with the homestead exemption, that's about $5,887 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; the market value rate (ISD 623) applies to referendum market value.

Ways to pay less
- File for homestead. Homestead can reduce the taxable market value of houses valued under $517,200, which may lower taxes, and it is one of the qualifying factors for the State of Minnesota Property Tax Refund. How: Apply online with Ramsey County; the last day to apply is Dec. 31.
- Claim the Minnesota property tax refund. The regular refund is based on household income and the property tax on your home; a special refund applies when your net property tax rose at least 12% and $100. 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. 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.
- Veterans with a 70%+ disability rating: homestead exclusion. Ramsey County offers a property tax exclusion for the homestead of an honorably discharged veteran with a service-connected disability rating of 70% or higher; the amount depends on the disability percentage. How: Apply with Ramsey County by Dec. 31.
- Pay property tax by e-check, not card. Ramsey County's online payment service charges $1 per e-check but 2.49% per credit or debit card payment. How: Choose e-check when you pay online.
