How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About Beltrami County, MN
Beltrami County’s effective property tax rate of 0.972% sits just under Minnesota’s statewide median of 0.985%, placing it 50th among the state’s 87 counties. That ranking signals a middle-of-the-pack position within Minnesota rather than an outlier on either end. Against the national median of 0.794%, however, the county runs noticeably higher. A median home in Beltrami County is valued at $237,500, producing an annual real-estate tax bill of about $2,309, set against a median household income of $68,975 and per-capita income of $35,509. Bemidji, the largest community here, anchors a county where property taxes land somewhat above what a typical American homeowner pays but slightly below the Minnesota norm. The gap with the national figure is the more meaningful signal: owning property here costs more than in much of the country, even if it compares favorably within the state.
