How does the new home construction rebate work?
There is no maximum construction limit and land value is included in the rebate calculation. Special function levies and special assessments are not included in the rebate. Calculate Your Rebate
Do I Need to Apply?
No. When a building permit for a new home is issued, the property is automatically enrolled in the rebate program. If you have any questions on the program timing, just contact the City Assessor’s Office at 218.299.5310.
Do I Need to be a First-Time Homebuyer?
No. As long as you are building a new home or buying one that has not yet been occupied, you are eligible. You don’t need to be a first-time homebuyer, and there are no income limits or other restrictions
When Will I Get My Check?
Tax payments are due as scheduled on May 15 and October 15 of each year, and the rebate of the eligible portion of the tax payments is scheduled to be refunded in December of each year of eligibility.
If I Sell My Home During the Rebate Period, who gets the Check?
The rebate check will be made payable to the owner of record for the property at the time the rebate is processed. If you sell the property during the rebate term, you should specify distribution of this rebate as a provision of your sales agreement with the buyer.
