Property owners in Ramsey County, you might want to keep a sharp eye on your mailbox come the last week of March; this is when the 2025 property valuation notices and tax statements are expected to land on your doormat. As reported by Ramsey County's official announcement, these notices are key to understanding your property's classification, estimated market value, and taxable market value, all crucial figures that dictate the amount of property taxes you'll be forking over in 2026.
For those of us who might feel a little mystified by the intricacies of property taxes, the county has put together a handy informational video – available in five languages, including English, Hmoob, Karen, Soomaali, and Español. This multimedia effort seeks to demystify the process by which these taxes are determined, instructs on how to navigate your statement, and provides guidance for those times when something doesn't quite add up.
If you have concerns about your valuation, act now—once the proposed taxes are sent in November, the appeal window closes. Contact the Assessor's Office at 651-266-2131 with any questions. Ramsey County residents should mark their calendars for the 2025 Open Book Meeting on Wednesday, April 9, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you plan to appeal, remember the May 5 postmark deadline to submit your forms to the County Board of Appeal and Equalization, as stated by Ramsey County.
