St. Cloud property tax: where it goes
A St. Cloud house pays 1.031% of its value in property tax. For a house at $225,000 of home value, that's about $2,320 a year.
Tax is levied on the first $500,000 of market value of a homestead (class 1a) property has a net class rate of 1.00%.
Stearns County's official 2026 rates are only in its JavaScript tax estimator (St. Cloud also lies partly in Sherburne and Benton counties), so this uses the latest Census figures, which predate the city's 2026 levy increase.
