Personal Property Regulations
By state law, an appraiser must value personal property which could include decks, additions, and travel trailers. If a trailer has current license registration, it is exempt from personal property tax. If it does not display a current license, it must be valued as personal property and you will receive a tax statement for this personal property. This tax is due and payable in the same year.
Application Process
Homestead is available for personal property mobile homes. Call the Assessor's Office, 507-934-7062, to receive an application. Homestead applications are to be completed and returned to the Assessor's Office by May 29. If the application is not returned, it will result in a non-homestead classification.
Transferring Mobile Home Titles
To transfer the title of the mobile home, the taxes are to be paid in full. Please contact the Public Services Department at 507-934-7670 for a tax amount or estimate.
