Minnesota Homestead Classification & Credit Refund

About This Program

Minnesota's Homestead Credit Refund program provides a property tax refund to owner-occupants whose property taxes exceed a threshold percentage of their household income. A regular refund based on income and taxes paid, and a special refund for taxes that increased more than 12% (up to $1,000) are both available. Applying for homestead classification also reduces your tax rate.

Regular refund eligibility: 2025 household income below $142,490. Special refund: no income limit — up to $1,000 if property taxes increased 12%+ year-over-year. File Form M1PR.
