Utility and Pipeline Property Administration

field_block:node:page:body

The market value of a company’s operating property in Minnesota determines the Utility and Pipeline Property Tax. The tax applies to these types of companies:

  • Electric light and power
  • Gas and water
  • Express, stage, and transportation
  • Pipeline

The Minnesota Department of Revenue estimates and certifies the market value. Counties use the market value to calculate, bill, and collect the taxes from companies.

Fiber optic cable, and other communication equipment, such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that are not part of the operating property of electric, light, power, gas, water, express, stage, transportation, or pipeline companies are not part of Revenue’s assessment. 

Fiber optic cable, and other communication equipment, such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are assessed by Revenue if they are part of the operating property of electric, light, power, gas, water, express, stage, transportation, and pipeline companies.

Watch our Utility, Pipeline, and Railroad Valuation webinar for a detailed overview of the process.
