In Minnesota, property tax refunds are generally processed and mailed out in late September or early October if the refund application is filed by the August 15 deadline. If the application is filed after August 15, the refund typically arrives within 60 days of the filing date. Filing electronically may result in receiving the refund earlier. Homeowners should expect their refund by the end of September if they filed by July 1 or within 90 days of filing, whichever is later. Renters may receive their refund by mid-August if they filed by May 15. To summarize:
- File by August 15 to get refund by late September or early October.
- Late filing means refund within 60 days of filing.
- Electronic filing speeds up the refund process.
- Renters get refunds earlier if filed by May 15.
These details apply to the Minnesota property tax refund for the applicable filing year and are based on current policies for 2025 refunds related to 2024 property taxes.
