Two refund programs are available to homestead property owners. Both are through the State of Minnesota:
Regular Refund: Sometimes called the "circuit breaker," is based on your household income and the amount of property tax you pay.
Special Refund: To qualify, your net property tax must increase by at least 12 percent and $100. The special refund is not based on income.
Forms and instructions are available from the
Minnesota Department of Revenue.
