The assessing division is responsible for estimating market values and determining the classification of property in the City of St. Louis Park for tax purposes. City appraisers follow standards that are put in place by Minnesota state laws.
Annual property review
State law requires the staff of the assessor’s office to view one-fifth of existing properties in the city each year; properties within the city are viewed at least once every five years. The areas that are designated for this annual review are commonly referred to as the quintile area. City appraisers typically begin property reviews in May each year. These property reviews will help determine the estimated market values for property taxes.
Appraisers are currently reviewing single-family properties in the following neighborhoods: Bronx Park, Lenox, Sorensen and Birchwood. Appraisers are also reviewing the following condominium and townhome developments: Lohman’s Amhurst Townhomes, Bridgewalk Condominiums, Coach Homes Condominiums, Parkside Urban Lofts (Buildings 460, 462 and 464), Twin Fountains Condominiums and Westmark Condominiums.
If your property is located in one of these neighborhoods, you will receive a letter in the mail letting you know that a city assessor will be reviewing your property within the next 30 days. For identification purposes, city appraisers will be wearing safety vests and a city-issued ID while in the field.
