(a) By September 1, 2014, the
commissioner shall notify, in writing or electronically, individual homeowners whom the
commissioner determines may be eligible for a homestead credit refund under this chapter
for that property taxes payable year as provided in this section. In determining whether

Each year, a district may levy an amount
equal to the difference between its total referendum revenue according to subdivision 4
and its referendum equalization revenue according to subdivision 5.
(a) The revenue authorized by section 126C.10,
subdivision 1, may be increased in the amount approved by the voters of the district
at a referendum called for the purpose. The referendum may be called by the board.
The referendum must be conducted one or two calendar years before the increased levy
authority, if approved, first becomes payable. Only one election to approve an increase
may be held in a calendar year. Unless the referendum is conducted by mail under
subdivision 11, paragraph (a), the referendum must be held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November. The ballot must state the maximum amount of the increased
revenue per deleted text beginresident marginal costdeleted text endnew text begin adjustednew text end pupil unit. The ballot may state a schedule,
determined by the board, of increased revenue per deleted text beginresident marginal costdeleted text endnew text begin adjustednew text end pupil
unit that differs from year to year over the number of years for which the increased revenue
is authorized or may state that the amount shall increase annually by the rate of inflation.
For this purpose, the rate of inflation shall be the annual inflationary increase calculated
under subdivision 2, paragraph (b). The ballot may state that existing referendum levy
authority is expiring. In this case, the ballot may also compare the proposed levy authority
to the existing expiring levy authority, and express the proposed increase as the amount, if
any, over the expiring referendum levy authority. The ballot must designate the specific
number of years, not to exceed ten, for which the referendum authorization applies. The
ballot, including a ballot on the question to revoke or reduce the increased revenue amount
under paragraph (c), must abbreviate the term "per deleted text beginresident marginal costdeleted text endnew text begin adjustednew text end pupil
unit" as "per pupil." The notice required under section 275.60 may be modified to read, in
cases of renewing existing levies at the same amount per pupil as in the previous year:
"BY VOTING "YES" ON THIS BALLOT QUESTION, YOU ARE VOTING
TO EXTEND AN EXISTING PROPERTY TAX REFERENDUM THAT IS
SCHEDULED TO EXPIRE."
The ballot may contain a textual portion with the information required in this
subdivision and a question stating substantially the following:
"Shall the increase in the revenue proposed by (petition to) the board of .........,
School District No. .., be approved?"
If approved, an amount equal to the approved revenue per deleted text beginresident marginal cost
deleted text endnew text begin adjustednew text end pupil unit times the deleted text beginresident marginal costdeleted text endnew text begin adjustednew text end pupil units for the school
year beginning in the year after the levy is certified shall be authorized for certification
for the number of years approved, if applicable, or until revoked or reduced by the voters
of the district at a subsequent referendum.
(b) The board must prepare and deliver by first class mail at least 15 days but no more
than 30 days before the day of the referendum to each taxpayer a notice of the referendum
and the proposed revenue increase. The board need not mail more than one notice to any
taxpayer. For the purpose of giving mailed notice under this subdivision, owners must be
those shown to be owners on the records of the county auditor or, in any county where
tax statements are mailed by the county treasurer, on the records of the county treasurer.
Every property owner whose name does not appear on the records of the county auditor
or the county treasurer is deemed to have waived this mailed notice unless the owner
has requested in writing that the county auditor or county treasurer, as the case may be,
include the name on the records for this purpose. The notice must project the anticipated
amount of tax increase in annual dollars for typical residential homesteads, agricultural
homesteads, apartments, and commercial-industrial property within the school district.
The notice for a referendum may state that an existing referendum levy is expiring
and project the anticipated amount of increase over the existing referendum levy in
the first year, if any, in annual dollars for typical residential homesteads, agricultural
homesteads, apartments, and commercial-industrial property within the district.
The notice must include the following statement: "Passage of this referendum will
result in an increase in your property taxes." However, in cases of renewing existing levies,
the notice may include the following statement: "Passage of this referendum extends an
existing operating referendum at the same amount per pupil as in the previous year."
(c) A referendum on the question of revoking or reducing the increased revenue
amount authorized pursuant to paragraph (a) may be called by the board. A referendum to
revoke or reduce the revenue amount must state the amount per resident marginal cost
pupil unit by which the authority is to be reduced. Revenue authority approved by the
voters of the district pursuant to paragraph (a) must be available to the school district at
least once before it is subject to a referendum on its revocation or reduction for subsequent
years. Only one revocation or reduction referendum may be held to revoke or reduce
referendum revenue for any specific year and for years thereafter.
(d) The approval of 50 percent plus one of those voting on the question is required to
pass a referendum authorized by this subdivision.
(e) At least 15 days before the day of the referendum, the district must submit a
copy of the notice required under paragraph (b) to the commissioner and to the county
auditor of each county in which the district is located. Within 15 days after the results
of the referendum have been certified by the board, or in the case of a recount, the
certification of the results of the recount by the canvassing board, the district must notify
the commissioner of the results of the referendum.

conducted by mail under this paragraph, the notice required by subdivision 9, paragraph (b),
must be prepared and delivered by first-class mail at least 20 days before the referendum.
(b) In addition to the referenda allowed in subdivision 9, clause (a), the commissioner
may grant authority to a district to hold a referendum on a different day if the district is in
statutory operating debt and has an approved plan or has received an extension from the
department to file a plan to eliminate the statutory operating debt.
(c) The commissioner must approve, deny, or modify each district's request for a
referendum levy on a different day within 60 days of receiving the request from a district.
A school district that received
supplemental or transition revenue in fiscal year 2002 may convert its supplemental
revenue conversion allowance and transition revenue conversion allowance to additional
referendum allowance under subdivision 1 for fiscal year 2003 and thereafter. A majority
of the school board must approve the conversion at a public meeting before November 1,
2001. For a district with other referendum authority, the referendum conversion allowance
approved by the board continues until the portion of the district's other referendum
authority with the earliest expiration date after June 30, 2006, expires. For a district
with no other referendum authority, the referendum conversion allowance approved by
the board continues until June 30, 2012.

section 273.128, subdivision 3, only the proportion of qualifying units to the total number
of units in the building qualify for class 4d. The remaining portion of the building shall be
classified by the assessor based upon its use. Class 4d also includes the same proportion of
land as the qualifying low-income rental housing units are to the total units in the building.
For all properties qualifying as class 4d, the market value determined by the assessor must
be based on the normal approach to value using normal unrestricted rents.

of this paragraph, the "first tier of market value of class 4d property" means the market
value of each housing unit up to the first tier limit. For the purposes of this paragraph, all
class 4d property value must be assigned to individual housing units. The first tier limit is
$100,000 for assessment year 2014. For subsequent years, the limit is adjusted each year
by the average statewide change in estimated market value of property classified as class 4a
and 4d under this section for the previous assessment year, excluding valuation change due
to new construction, rounded to the nearest $1,000, provided, however, that the limit may
never be less than $100,000. Beginning with assessment year 2015, the commissioner of
revenue must certify the limit for each assessment year by November 1 of the previous year.

property tax statement, whichever is later, a penalty accrues and thereafter is charged upon
all unpaid taxes on real estate on the current lists in the hands of the county treasurer. The
penalty is at a rate of two percent on homestead property until May 31 and four percent on
June 1. The penalty on nonhomestead property is at a rate of four percent until May 31 and
eight percent on June 1. This penalty does not accrue until June 1 of each year, or 21 days
after the postmark date on the envelope containing the property tax statements, whichever
is later, on commercial use real property used for seasonal residential recreational purposes
and classified as class 1c or 4c, and on other commercial use real property classified as
class 3a, provided that over 60 percent of the gross income earned by the enterprise on the
class 3a property is earned during the months of May, June, July, and August. In order for
the first half of the tax due on class 3a property to be paid after May 15 and before June 1,
or 21 days after the postmark date on the envelope containing the property tax statement,
whichever is later, without penalty, the owner of the property must attach an affidavit
to the payment attesting to compliance with the income provision of this subdivision.
Thereafter, for both homestead and nonhomestead property, on the first day of each month
beginning July 1, up to and including October 1 following, an additional penalty of one
percent for each month accrues and is charged on all such unpaid taxes provided that if the
due date was extended beyond May 15 as the result of any delay in mailing property tax
statements no additional penalty shall accrue if the tax is paid by the extended due date. If
the tax is not paid by the extended due date, then all penalties that would have accrued if
the due date had been May 15 shall be charged. When the taxes against any tract or lot
exceed $100, one-half thereof may be paid prior to May 16 or 21 days after the postmark
date on the envelope containing the property tax statement, whichever is later; and, if so
paid, no penalty attaches; the remaining one-half may be paid at any time prior to October
16 following, without penalty; but, if not so paid, then a penalty of two percent accrues
thereon for homestead property and a penalty of four percent on nonhomestead property.
Thereafter, for homestead property, on the first day of November an additional penalty of
four percent accrues and on the first day of December following, an additional penalty of
two percent accrues and is charged on all such unpaid taxes. Thereafter, for nonhomestead
property, on the first day of November and December following, an additional penalty of
four percent for each month accrues and is charged on all such unpaid taxes. If one-half of
such taxes are not paid prior to May 16 or 21 days after the postmark date on the envelope
containing the property tax statement, whichever is later, the same may be paid at any time
prior to October 16, with accrued penalties to the date of payment added, and thereupon
no penalty attaches to the remaining one-half until October 16 following.
This section applies to payment of personal property taxes assessed against
improvements to leased property, except as provided by section 277.01, subdivision 3.
A county may provide by resolution that in the case of a property owner that has
multiple tracts or parcels with aggregate taxes exceeding $100, payments may be made in
installments as provided in this subdivision.
The county treasurer may accept payments of more or less than the exact amount of
a tax installment due. Payments must be applied first to the oldest installment that is due
but which has not been fully paid. If the accepted payment is less than the amount due,
payments must be applied first to the penalty accrued for the year or the installment being
paid. Acceptance of partial payment of tax does not constitute a waiver of the minimum
payment required as a condition for filing an appeal under section 278.03 or any other law,
nor does it affect the order of payment of delinquent taxes under section 280.39.
