Minnesota\u2019s Legislature passed a tax relief package<\/strong> that sets aside $125 million for property tax rebates to homeowners. It\u2019s a one-time payment, not an automatic credit. Approximately 600,000 households<\/strong> that meet the state\u2019s Revenue Department requirements will qualify.<\/p>\n

The bill cleared the House by a vote of 126-8 and the Senate 52-15 during the final hours of the 2026 legislative session, which ended on May 18. The governor signed the tax refunds bill<\/strong> as part of a larger package that also included funding for struggling hospitals and county IT upgrades.<\/p>\n

The credit amounts to $173 per household. To be eligible, your 2025 household income must be below $142,490<\/strong>. You also must have lived in and owned your primary home on January 2, 2026<\/strong>, and the property must be classified as a homestead with your county.<\/p>\n

This is not automatic. Every homeowner must file Form M1PR<\/a><\/strong> with Minnesota\u2019s Department of Revenue. The usual deadline is August 15, but for the 2025 cycle, it has been extended to August 17, 2026 (since August 15 falls on a Saturday)<\/strong>. There is an additional year to file if you miss that date.<\/p>\n
