Pennington County to Begin Property Assessments

The Pennington County Assessor’s Office will begin its 2023 (affecting real estate tax payable 2024) assessment beginning July 2022.

Minnesota Statute 273.08 requires that all properties must be viewed by a licensed assessor every five years at a maximum.  Assessors may also visit properties in search of new construction, to see if any buildings were removed, or if other changes to buildings have been made.

The Pennington County Assessor’s Office staff will once again be knocking on doors or ringing doorbells of residences.  The Assessor’s staff will perform exterior inspections of properties, measure exteriors of new construction, and attempt to make appointments for interior inspections.  The Assessor’s staff will also be entering commercial property buildings that are open to the public.  Property owners are welcome to approach staff and ask any questions.

Contact the Pennington County Assessor’s Office at (218) 683-7029 with any questions or concerns.
