Claims for the 2023 Property Tax Refunds are due August 15, 2025  

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Revenue reminds homeowners and renters to file for their 2023 Property Tax Refund before August 15, 2025. Additionally, homeowners can still claim 2024 refunds until August 15, 2026.

Eligible renters could claim the 2024 Renter’s Credit when filing their individual income tax returns earlier this year. Since the credit is part of the individual income tax return, renters must file to claim the credit. Visit the File an Income Tax Return webpage for more details.

Renters who already filed but did not claim the 2024 Renter’s Credit will need to amend their return if they want to claim it. For more information, visit the Forgot to Claim the Renter’s Credit section on our Renter’s Credit webpage. 

Taxpayers should keep these tips in mind as they file for property tax refunds:  

• Find out if you qualify for a property tax refund. Renters and homeowners that meet certain requirements may be eligible. Visit our website to see if you qualify or type property tax refund into the Search box.
• Homeowners can file for free.  Eligible homeowners can use the department’s electronic filing system to file their property tax refund for free. Visit our website to see if you qualify to use this free service.
• Renters have two options to file. Renters can file by using a tax software provider or by paper. Visit our website for more information under the “Claim the Refund” heading.
• Include all information. Renters should make sure to include their Certificate of Rent Paid form issued by their landlord. Homeowners should make sure to use the information from their property tax statements issued by their county each spring.
• Track your refund. Homeowners can track where their property tax refund is in the process by using our Where’s My Refund? system. The system will show you which of the four stages your refund is in and whether you need to take any action to allow us to complete the processing of your refund. You will see the date your refund was issued when it is finished processing.
• Property tax relief for senior citizens. The Senior Citizens’ Property Tax Deferral Program allows seniors whose property taxes are high relative to their incomes an option to stay in their homes by deferring a portion of the property taxes they owe each year. If they are currently in the program, qualified seniors may claim a property tax refund and it will apply to their outstanding loan balance. Learn more about the Property Tax Deferral for Senior Citizens.

Each tax return is different, and we review every return to verify the information on the return. Some returns may take longer to review and process than others.
