Hennepin County property valuation meetings in 2026
Hennepin County hosts "Open Book" meetings each spring for property owners to discuss their property assessments and valuations for the upcoming tax year.
Here's a breakdown of the process and how it relates to 2026:
- Valuation Notices: Each March, the Hennepin County Assessor's office mails notices to property owners detailing their property's market value, which will be used to calculate taxes for the following year (e.g., 2026 taxes are based on 2025 valuation).
- Open Book Meetings: Following the mailing of valuation notices, the County hosts "Open Book" meetings throughout April. These meetings allow taxpayers to review and discuss their assessments with County staff.
- Meeting Locations and Times: The specific dates, times, and locations of these meetings (both in-person and virtual) will be included in the valuation notice you receive.
- Virtual Meetings: Hennepin County provides a virtual meeting option for property owners. To participate, you'll need a computer or smartphone and to schedule an appointment in advance.
It's important to remember that:
- You can attend any Open Book meeting, regardless of the city your property is located in.
- You can also contact the County Assessor directly to discuss your assessment after receiving your valuation notice.
- The deadline to appeal to the County Board of Appeal and Equalization is typically in May.
