I just moved into a home. Who do I speak to about homesteading?

You can apply for a homesteading classification online or by mail. Visit the Homestead Classification page for instructions.

To apply, you must have a copy of the deed and Certificate of Real Estate Value provided at closing and Social Security numbers of all owners, spouses not on deeds and/or qualified relatives who occupy the property. 

If you need assistance or for more information, please contact Hennepin County at 612-348-3046.
