School Tax Process

1. The State sets limits: State law restricts how much school districts can tax. The Minnesota Department of Education calculates these limits.
2. The district holds a hearing: Your local school district hosts a public "Truth in Taxation" meeting. They then approve the final tax amount and send it to the county.
3. The county collects and pays: The county sends out your tax statement, collects your payment, and delivers the funds to the school district.
