Our core values are the foundation of the high standards of performance and behavior.

Our Strategies

1. Provide customers with information, education, and services.
2. Create operational efficiencies and leverage technology to secure customer information, and to meet customer and employee needs.
3. Enforce the tax laws by identifying and addressing patterns of non-compliance.
4. Listen to our customers, identify and develop improvements to the revenue system.
5. Foster a productive, innovative, and healthy work environment that provides opportunities for growth and development.

The Commissioner of Revenue is directly responsible to the governor for the supervision of Minnesota’s revenue system. In addition, the commissioner advises the governor and the Legislature on tax policy and operations, and acts as the State Board of Equalization to review individual property tax appeals and direct equalization efforts.
