1.8 	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:

1.9 	Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 273.124, subdivision 13, is amended to read:
1.10 		Subd. 13.Homestead application. (a) A person who meets the homestead 
1.11 	requirements under subdivision 1 must file a homestead application with the county 
1.12 	assessor to initially obtain homestead classification.
1.13 	(b) The format and contents of a uniform homestead application shall be prescribed 
1.14 	by the commissioner of revenue. The application must clearly inform the taxpayer that 
1.15 	this application must be signed by all owners who occupy the property or by the qualifying 
1.16 	relative and returned to the county assessor in order for the property to receive homestead 
1.17 	treatment.
1.18 	(c) Every property owner applying for homestead classification must furnish to the 
1.19 	county assessor the Social Security number of each occupant who is listed as an owner 
1.20 	of the property on the deed of record, the name and address of each owner who does not 
1.21 	occupy the property, and the name and Social Security number of each owner's spouse who 
1.22 	occupies the property. The application must be signed by each owner who occupies the 
1.23 	property and by each owner's spouse who occupies the property, or, in the case of property 
1.24 	that qualifies as a homestead under subdivision 1, paragraph (c), by the qualifying relative.
2.1 	If a property owner occupies a homestead, the property owner's spouse may not 
2.2 	claim another property as a homestead unless the property owner and the property owner's 
2.3 	spouse file with the assessor an affidavit or other proof required by the assessor stating that 
2.4 	the property qualifies as a homestead under subdivision 1, paragraph (e).
2.5 	Owners or spouses occupying residences owned by their spouses and previously 
2.6 	occupied with the other spouse, either of whom fail to include the other spouse's name 
2.7 	and Social Security number on the homestead application or provide the affidavits or 
2.8 	other proof requested, will be deemed to have elected to receive only partial homestead 
2.9 	treatment of their residence. The remainder of the residence will be classified as 
2.10 	nonhomestead residential. When an owner or spouse's name and Social Security number 
2.11 	appear on homestead applications for two separate residences and only one application is 
2.12 	signed, the owner or spouse will be deemed to have elected to homestead the residence for 
2.13 	which the application was signed.
2.14 	The Social Security numbers, state or federal tax returns or tax return information, 
2.15 	including the federal income tax schedule F required by this section, or affidavits or other 
2.16 	proofs of the property owners and spouses submitted under this or another section to 
2.17 	support a claim for a property tax homestead classification are private data on individuals as 
2.18 	defined by section 13.02, subdivision 12, but, notwithstanding that section, the private data 
2.19 	may be disclosed to the commissioner of revenue, or, for purposes of proceeding under the 
2.20 	Revenue Recapture Act to recover personal property taxes owing, to the county treasurer.
2.21 	(d) If residential real estate is occupied and used for purposes of a homestead by a 
2.22 	relative of the owner and qualifies for a homestead under subdivision 1, paragraph (c), in 
2.23 	order for the property to receive homestead status, a homestead application must be filed 
2.24 	with the assessor. The Social Security number of each relative and spouse of a relative 
2.25 	occupying the property shall be required on the homestead application filed under this 
2.26 	subdivision. If a different relative of the owner subsequently occupies the property, the 
2.27 	owner of the property must notify the assessor within 30 days of the change in occupancy. 
2.28 	The Social Security number of a relative or relative's spouse occupying the property 
2.29 	is private data on individuals as defined by section 13.02, subdivision 12, but may be 
2.30 	disclosed to the commissioner of revenue, or, for the purposes of proceeding under the 
2.31 	Revenue Recapture Act to recover personal property taxes owing, to the county treasurer.
2.32 	(e) The homestead application shall also notify the property owners that the 
2.33 	application filed under this section will not be mailed annually and that if the property 
2.34 	is granted homestead status for any assessment year, that same property shall remain 
2.35 	classified as homestead until the property is sold or transferred to another person, or 
2.36 	the owners, the spouse of the owner, or the relatives no longer use the property as their 
3.1 	homestead. Upon the sale or transfer of the homestead property, a certificate of value must 
3.2 	be timely filed with the county auditor as provided under section 272.115. Failure to 
3.3 	notify the assessor within 30 days that the property has been sold, transferred, or that the 
3.4 	owner, the spouse of the owner, or the relative is no longer occupying the property as a 
3.5 	homestead, shall result in the penalty provided under this subdivision and the property 
3.6 	will lose its current homestead status.
3.7 	(f) If the homestead application is not returned within 30 days, the county will send a 
3.8 	second application to the present owners of record. The notice of proposed property taxes 
3.9 	prepared under section 275.065, subdivision 3, shall reflect the property's classification. If 
3.10 	a homestead application has not been filed with the county by December 15, the assessor 
3.11 	shall classify the property as nonhomestead for the current assessment year for taxes 
3.12 	payable in the following year, provided that the owner may be entitled to receive the 
3.13 	homestead classification by proper application under section 375.192.
3.14 	(g) At the request of the commissioner, each county must give the commissioner a 
3.15 	list that includes the name and Social Security number of each occupant of homestead 
3.16 	property who is the property owner, property owner's spouse, qualifying relative of a 
3.17 	property owner, or a spouse of a qualifying relative. The commissioner shall use the 
3.18 	information provided on the lists as appropriate under the law, including for the detection 
3.19 	of improper claims by owners, or relatives of owners, under chapter 290A.
3.20 	(h) If the commissioner finds that a property owner may be claiming a fraudulent 
3.21 	homestead, the commissioner shall notify the appropriate counties. Within 90 days of 
3.22 	the notification, the county assessor shall investigate to determine if the homestead 
3.23 	classification was properly claimed. If the property owner does not qualify, the county 
3.24 	assessor shall notify the county auditor who will determine the amount of homestead 
3.25 	benefits that had been improperly allowed. For the purpose of this section, "homestead 
3.26 	benefits" means the tax reduction resulting from the classification as a homestead under 
3.27 	section 273.13, the taconite homestead credit under section 273.135, the residential 
3.28 	homestead and agricultural homestead credits under section 273.1384, and the 
3.29 	supplemental homestead credit under section 273.1391.
3.30 	The county auditor shall send a notice to the person who owned the affected property 
3.31 	at the time the homestead application related to the improper homestead was filed, 
3.32 	demanding reimbursement of the homestead benefits plus a penalty equal to 100 percent 
3.33 	of the homestead benefits. The person notified may appeal the county's determination 
3.34 	by serving copies of a petition for review with county officials as provided in section 
3.35 	278.01 and filing proof of service as provided in section 278.01 with the Minnesota Tax 
3.36 	Court within 60 days of the date of the notice from the county. Procedurally, the appeal 
4.1 	is governed by the provisions in chapter 271 which apply to the appeal of a property tax 
4.2 	assessment or levy, but without requiring any prepayment of the amount in controversy. If 
4.3 	the amount of homestead benefits and penalty is not paid within 60 days, and if no appeal 
4.4 	has been filed, the county auditor shall certify the amount of taxes and penalty to the county 
4.5 	treasurer. The county treasurer will add interest to the unpaid homestead benefits and 
4.6 	penalty amounts at the rate provided in section 279.03 for real property taxes becoming 
4.7 	delinquent in the calendar year during which the amount remains unpaid. Interest may be 
4.8 	assessed for the period beginning 60 days after demand for payment was made.
4.9 	If the person notified is the current owner of the property, the treasurer may add the 
4.10 	total amount of homestead benefits, penalty, interest, and costs to the ad valorem taxes 
4.11 	otherwise payable on the property by including the amounts on the property tax statements 
4.12 	under section 276.04, subdivision 3. The amounts added under this paragraph to the ad 
4.13 	valorem taxes shall include interest accrued through December 31 of the year preceding 
4.14 	the taxes payable year for which the amounts are first added. These amounts, when added 
4.15 	to the property tax statement, become subject to all the laws for the enforcement of real or 
4.16 	personal property taxes for that year, and for any subsequent year.
4.17 	If the person notified is not the current owner of the property, the treasurer may 
4.18 	collect the amounts due under the Revenue Recapture Act in chapter 270A, or use any of 
4.19 	the powers granted in sections 277.20 and 277.21 without exclusion, to enforce payment 
4.20 	of the homestead benefits, penalty, interest, and costs, as if those amounts were delinquent 
4.21 	tax obligations of the person who owned the property at the time the application related to 
4.22 	the improperly allowed homestead was filed. The treasurer may relieve a prior owner of 
4.23 	personal liability for the homestead benefits, penalty, interest, and costs, and instead extend 
4.24 	those amounts on the tax lists against the property as provided in this paragraph to the extent 
4.25 	that the current owner agrees in writing. On all demands, billings, property tax statements, 
4.26 	and related correspondence, the county must list and state separately the amounts of 
4.27 	homestead benefits, penalty, interest and costs being demanded, billed or assessed.
4.28 	(i) Any amount of homestead benefits recovered by the county from the property 
4.29 	owner shall be distributed to the county, city or town, and school district where the 
4.30 	property is located in the same proportion that each taxing district's levy was to the total 
4.31 	of the three taxing districts' levy for the current year. Any amount recovered attributable 
4.32 	to taconite homestead credit shall be transmitted to the St. Louis County auditor to be 
4.33 	deposited in the taconite property tax relief account. Any amount recovered that is 
4.34 	attributable to supplemental homestead credit is to be transmitted to the commissioner of 
4.35 	revenue for deposit in the general fund of the state treasury. The total amount of penalty 
4.36 	collected must be deposited in the county general fund.
5.1 	(j) If a property owner has applied for more than one homestead and the county 
5.2 	assessors cannot determine which property should be classified as homestead, the county 
5.3 	assessors will refer the information to the commissioner. The commissioner shall make 
5.4 	the determination and notify the counties within 60 days.
5.5 	(k) In addition to lists of homestead properties, the commissioner may ask the 
5.6 	counties to furnish lists of all properties and the record owners. The Social Security 
5.7 	numbers and federal identification numbers that are maintained by a county or city 
5.8 	assessor for property tax administration purposes, and that may appear on the lists retain 
5.9 	their classification as private or nonpublic data; but may be viewed, accessed, and used by 
5.10 	the county auditor or treasurer of the same county for the limited purpose of assisting the 
5.11 	commissioner in the preparation of microdata samples under section 270C.12.
5.12 	(l) On or before April 30 each year beginning in 2007, each county must provide the 
5.13 	commissioner with the following data for each parcel of homestead property by electronic 
5.14 	means as defined in section 289A.02, subdivision 8:
5.15 	(i) the property identification number assigned to the parcel for purposes of taxes 
5.16 	payable in the current year;
5.17 	(ii) the name and Social Security number of each occupant of homestead property 
5.18 	who is the property owner, property owner's spouse, qualifying relative of a property 
5.19 	owner, or spouse of a qualifying relative;
5.20 	(iii) the classification of the property under section 273.13 for taxes payable in the 
5.21 	current year and in the prior year;
5.22 	(iv) an indication of whether the property was classified as a homestead for taxes 
5.23 	payable in the current year because of occupancy by a relative of the owner or by a 
5.24 	spouse of a relative;
5.25 	(v) the property taxes payable as defined in section 290A.03, subdivision 13, for the 
5.26 	current year and the prior year;
5.27 	(vi) the market value of improvements to the property first assessed for tax purposes 
5.28 	for taxes payable in the current year;
5.29 	(vii) the assessor's estimated market value assigned to the property for taxes payable 
5.30 	in the current year and the prior year;
5.31 	(viii) the taxable market value assigned to the property for taxes payable in the 
5.32 	current year and the prior year;
5.33 	(ix) whether there are delinquent property taxes owing on the homestead;
5.34 	(x) the unique taxing district in which the property is located; and
5.35 	(xi) such other information as the commissioner decides is necessary.
6.1 	The commissioner shall use the information provided on the lists as appropriate 
6.2 	under the law, including for the detection of improper claims by owners, or relatives 
6.3 	of owners, under chapter 290A.

6.4 	Sec. 2. [275.0645] TRUTH IN TAXATION.
6.5 		Subdivision 1.Truth in taxation; budget meeting. (a) Notwithstanding any law 
6.6 	or charter to the contrary, on or before September 1, each city with a population over 
6.7 	2,500, counties, school districts, and metropolitan special taxing districts as defined in 
6.8 	section 275.065, subdivision 3, paragraph (i), shall hold a public meeting in which the 
6.9 	budget and levy will be discussed and public input allowed, prior to the final adoption 
6.10 	and levy determination.
6.11 	(b) At the meeting, which must not be scheduled before 6:00 p.m., the public must 
6.12 	be allowed to speak. Each taxing jurisdiction must provide, to those in attendance, 
6.13 	information including, but not limited to: (1) the jurisdiction's estimated proposed levy, 
6.14 	prior final levy, and the percent change; (2) the tax rate for the jurisdiction's estimated 
6.15 	proposed levy, current tax rate, and the percent change; and (3) a statement of reason for 
6.16 	the increase or decrease from the prior year's levy, including the four most significant 
6.17 	factors resulting in the change, and an accounting of the distribution of levy proceeds 
6.18 	from the prior year. The county must provide a property percentile summary statement, 
6.19 	consolidated for all applicable taxing jurisdictions, that identifies the proposed tax and 
6.20 	current tax. The form of the percentile summary statement will be prescribed by the 
6.21 	commissioner of the Department of Revenue. For purposes of this section, "estimated 
6.22 	proposed levy" means the taxing jurisdiction's anticipated levy after consideration of 
6.23 	significant factors impacting budget decisions.
6.24 	(c) Notice of the budget meeting and the same budget and levy information required 
6.25 	under paragraph (b) must also be published on the taxing jurisdiction's Web site within

8.14 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxes payable in 2014.

8.15 	Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 275.07, subdivision 1, is amended to read:

9.1 	EFFECTIVE DATE. This section is effective for taxes payable in 2014.

9.2 	Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 276.04, subdivision 2, is amended to read:
9.3 		Subd. 2.Contents of tax statements. (a) The treasurer shall provide for the 
9.4 	printing of the tax statements. The commissioner of revenue shall prescribe the form of 
9.5 	the property tax statement and its contents. The tax statement must not state or imply that 
9.6 	property tax credits are paid by the state of Minnesota. The statement must contain a 
9.7 	tabulated statement of the dollar amount due to each taxing authority and the amount of the 
9.8 	state tax from the parcel of real property for which a particular tax statement is prepared. 
9.9 	The dollar amounts attributable to the county, the state tax, the voter approved school tax, 
9.10 	the other local school tax, the township or municipality, and the total of the metropolitan 
9.11 	special taxing districts as defined in section 275.065, subdivision 3, paragraph (i) 275.065, 
9.12 	subdivision 6, paragraph (d), must be separately stated. The amounts due all other special 
9.13 	taxing districts, if any, may be aggregated except that any levies made by the regional 
9.14 	rail authorities in the county of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, or 
9.15 	Washington under chapter 398A shall be listed on a separate line directly under the 
9.16 	appropriate county's levy. If the county levy under this paragraph includes an amount for a 
9.17 	lake improvement district as defined under sections 103B.501 to 103B.581, the amount 
9.18 	attributable for that purpose must be separately stated from the remaining county levy 
9.19 	amount. In the case of Ramsey County, if the county levy under this paragraph includes an 
9.20 	amount for public library service under section 134.07, the amount attributable for that 
9.21 	purpose may be separated from the remaining county levy amount. The amount of the 
9.22 	tax on homesteads qualifying under the senior citizens' property tax deferral program 
9.23 	under chapter 290B is the total amount of property tax before subtraction of the deferred 
9.24 	property tax amount. The amount of the tax on contamination value imposed under 
9.25 	sections 270.91 to 270.98, if any, must also be separately stated. The dollar amounts, 
9.26 	including the dollar amount of any special assessments, may be rounded to the nearest 
9.27 	even whole dollar. For purposes of this section whole odd-numbered dollars may be 
9.28 	adjusted to the next higher even-numbered dollar. The amount of market value excluded 
9.29 	under section 273.11, subdivision 16, if any, must also be listed on the tax statement.
9.30 	(b) The property tax statements for manufactured homes and sectional structures 
9.31 	taxed as personal property shall contain the same information that is required on the 
9.32 	tax statements for real property.
9.33 	(c) Real and personal property tax statements must contain the following information 
9.34 	in the order given in this paragraph. The information must contain the current year tax 
10.1 	information in the right column with the corresponding information for the previous year
