Residents of Faribault County are reminded that if you purchased a property in the past year and you, or a qualifying relative occupy the property, you have until December 31st to contact the Assessor’s Office to file a Homestead Application.
Failure to file a Homestead Application will affect the amount of property tax you pay. You must also contact the Assessor’s Office if the use of the property has changed during the past year.
Once you have been granted a Homestead Classification, no further applications are necessary, unless specifically requested by the County Assessor.
Those with questions about a Homestead Classification, should contact the Assessor’s Office at 526-6201.
