Plymouth Property Tax Records

Plymouth property tax records are handled by Hennepin County, which manages all property assessment, billing, and collection for the city. The City of Plymouth Finance Department oversees local city finances, but county offices are where you search for parcel data, tax history, and payment records. This page explains how to find Plymouth property tax records online, how assessments work, how to pay taxes, and how to pursue an appeal if you believe your property value is overstated.

How Plymouth Property Taxes Work

Plymouth is in Hennepin County, and property taxes here follow Minnesota's statewide framework. Hennepin County assesses every parcel in Plymouth as of January 2 each year under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 273. The county sets the estimated market value, which is then used to calculate the tax owed the following year. Tax statements are sent to property owners by March 31 under Chapter 276.

Taxes come in two equal installments. First half is due May 15. Second half is due October 15. If your total bill is $100 or less, you can pay the full amount by May 15. Interest begins on late payments. The City of Plymouth sets its annual levy along with Hennepin County, the local school district, and other taxing districts. All of these combine into your total bill each year.

Fall Truth in Taxation hearings under Chapter 275 let Plymouth residents review proposed levy changes before they are finalized. The Plymouth Finance Department at plymouthmn.gov/departments/administration/finance handles local city financial services and questions about city budgets.

Note: All Plymouth property tax billing and collection is handled by Hennepin County, not the city itself.

Search Plymouth Property Tax Records Online

Hennepin County Assessment for Plymouth

Hennepin County assessors handle all property valuation in Plymouth. Each parcel receives a new estimated market value every year as of January 2. Assessors review comparable sales, property features, and local market conditions. Under MN Statutes Chapter 273, all property must be assessed at full market value unless a classification applies that reduces the taxable amount.

Plymouth property owners receive a Notice of Valuation and Classification each year. This notice shows your estimated market value and property class. If you think either is wrong, contact the Hennepin County assessor at (612) 348-7050 for an informal review before deciding whether to pursue a formal appeal. Most valuation questions can be answered or corrected at this stage.

Paying Plymouth Property Taxes

Hennepin County sends all Plymouth property tax statements and collects payment. Statements go out by March 31. First half is due May 15 and second half is due October 15. Late payments start accruing interest right away under Chapter 279. You can pay online, by mail, or in person. The county payment portal is at hennepin.us/property-tax/pay-property-taxes. Online options include e-check and credit card. In-person payment goes to the Hennepin County Government Center at 300 South Sixth Street in Minneapolis.

Have your parcel ID number available when making any payment. You can find your parcel ID on your tax statement or by searching the county's property information portal. If you need a copy of a past statement or want to confirm payment was received, the county's property tax page has those options as well.

Homestead Status for Plymouth Properties

Plymouth homeowners who occupy their property as their primary residence can apply for homestead classification. Homestead status reduces the class rate used to calculate your tax, producing real savings each year. You must be living in the property by December 1 and submit the application by December 31. Applications are processed through Hennepin County at hennepin.us/residents/property/homestead.

The application requires your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. Hennepin County uses this to verify your primary residency. Once homestead status is granted, it stays active year after year as long as you continue to own and occupy the property. Under MN Statutes Chapter 273, homestead residential property receives a lower class rate than non-homestead residential property, which lowers your annual tax bill.

The Minnesota Property Tax Refund through Form M1PR is available to Plymouth residents with limited incomes. This credit from the Minnesota Department of Revenue at revenue.state.mn.us applies to both owners and renters and can offset part of what you pay in property taxes.
