Renter’s Property Tax Refund

To qualify, all of these must be true:

• You have a valid Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
• You are a Minnesota resident or spent at least 183 days in the state
• You lived in and paid rent on a Minnesota building where the owner was assessed property tax or made payments in lieu of property tax
• Your household income for 2023 was less than $73,270
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return

You can claim your refund through a software provider or by paper. For details, see Filing for a Property Tax Refund.

You will need a completed Certificate of Rent Paid (CRP) from your landlord. You must include all CRPs with your return.

The CRP shows how much rent you paid during the previous year. Your property owner or managing agent must give you a completed CRP by January 31.

What if my CRP is incorrect or I did not receive one?

Ask your property owner or managing agent to correct or provide your CRP.

If your property owner or managing agent does not correct or provide it by February 1, you may request a Rent Paid Affidavit (RPA) from the Minnesota Department of Revenue. For more information about requesting a Rent Paid Affidavit (RPA), visit Renter's Credit.
