What you'll pay, at a glance

Property taxes are the largest local tax most homeowners pay. The effective rate measures the real tax bill as a share of home value — a more useful number than the nominal “mill rate,” because assessment practices vary county to county.

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 Grant County, MN

Grant County’s effective property tax rate of 0.934% sits below Minnesota’s statewide median of 0.985%, placing the county 57th out of 87 counties for property tax rate. That ranking signals a rate that is lower than most of its peers within the state, though not among the very lowest. Against the national median of 0.794%, however, Grant County runs higher, so homeowners here pay somewhat more relative to property value than the average American. On a median home value of $191,000, that rate yields an annual real-estate tax bill of $1,783. With median household income at $73,917 and per-capita income of $40,151, the tax load reflects a county where property costs are moderate but income levels shape how that bill is absorbed. Communities such as Herman, Norcross, and Barrett anchor this rural western Minnesota county.

Frequently asked questions

What is the property tax rate in Grant County, MN?
The effective rate is 0.93% — meaning the median tax bill equals about 0.93% of the median home value.
How much are property taxes on a median home?
On the median home ($191,000), the estimated annual bill is about $1,783.
Is Grant County's rate high or low?

How does the effective rate differ from my mill rate?
A mill rate is the nominal levy per $1,000 of assessed value. The effective rate reflects what you actually pay after exemptions and assessments — it's the median tax bill as a share of median home value, so it better predicts your real cost.
Will a reassessment raise my tax bill?
Not necessarily. If your home's assessed value rises, your bill can go up, but only if the mill rate and exemptions stay flat. Contact the Grant County assessor's office to review your current assessment.
Can I appeal my property tax assessment?
Yes. Most counties allow an appeal when you believe the assessed value exceeds the market value. File with the Grant County assessor within the local deadline, typically with comparable sales as evidence.
