 Have questions about your 2015 Estimated Market Value?
In
late March, property owners across Ramsey County received their 2015
Estimated Market Value for Taxes Payable in 2016 form in the mail.
Do
you have a question about a change in value on your property? Do NOT
wait until the fall - you should use the Informal Appeal process now!
Step 1: Call the Assessor's Office First
If
you have questions or disagree with the classification or Estimated
Market Value of your property for 2015, please contact the Assessor's
Office at 651-266-2131 to discuss your concerns. Often your issues can
be resolved over the phone.
Please be aware that you will:
- Be asked to provide information regarding your concern
- Receive a return phone call from the appraiser responsible for your property within 1-2 days
- Need to have an appraiser come to your property to perform an interior review prior to any value adjustment
Step 2: Attend an Open Book Meeting
If
you still have questions after contacting the Assessor's Office, you
may attend an Open Book Meeting to discuss your concerns with the
Assessor. The meeting times and location are indicated on the front of
the valuation statement, and are also listed below.
- Please
bring any documentation (such as a recent appraisal or sale of the
property) supporting your claim of overvaluation or erroneous
classification with you to the meeting.
- An interior review of your property will be required prior to any value adjustment.
- Based
on the documentation you bring and our personal review of your
property, we may be able to adjust the valuation or classification of
your property without further appeals.
- You will be notified by mail of the Assessor's findings.
You may still call the assessor’s office to have questions or concerns answered after the Open Meeting Dates have passed.
Dates and Times
April 6, 2015 -- 10:00 am to 7:00 pm
April 7-8, 2015 -- 8:30 am to 4:00 pm
Location
Ramsey County Property Records and Revenue, 90 W. Plato Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55107.
Note:

to the 2015 Estimated Market Value for Taxes Payable in 2016.
The
Assessor's Office cannot address an appeal of the 2015 taxes or the
2014 Estimated Market Value for Taxes Payable in 2015. The appeal period
for last year’s assessment is closed. An appeal of the 2014 Estimated
Market Value can only be appealed through the Minnesota Tax Court, on or
before April 30, 2015.

 Commissioner McGuire welcomes attendees at the Winter Rec Summit
Winter Rec Summit is a success!
Huge thank you to those who attended the Winter Recreation Summit at Keller Golf Course on March 19. The snow may be gone, but these folks are already thinking ahead to next winter! Over 100 people showed up to share their thoughts for expanded winter recreation options in Battle Creek Park.
There will be a follow-up meeting on April 9 at 6:00 pm at the Keller Clubhouse located at 2166 Maplewood Drive in Maplewood to discuss next steps. To RSVP or get more information on how you can connect with this effort, contact Kara Coustry at kara.coustry@co.ramsey.mn.us. Please RSVP by April 8.
Controlled Burn at Roseville Library
Prairie Restorations has renewed the permit to burn at Roseville, which included neighbor notification. Because the burn is dependent on perfect wind conditions, there will be little or no notice when they do the burn, other than it will take place within the next 30 days.
Questions? Contact the District 2 office at 651-266-8359.
