Reappraisal Areas for 2021 Assessment (Taxes Payable 2022)

Below is a map of the areas scheduled for reappraisal this year. Due to the distancing recommendations related to COVID-19, the appraiser will not be making a personal introduction and will be viewing your property from a St. Louis County vehicle. If the COVID-19 distancing recommendations are no longer in place when your property is visited, the appraiser will then be requesting permission to view your property. 

2021 Reassessment Areas

 
 ___________________________________________________________

Timely, Uniform, Fair

The St. Louis County Assessor's Department is responsible for the equalization of property assessments throughout St. Louis County, including the City of Duluth. It is the Assessor's responsibility to ensure each property is equally and uniformly assessed.

To do this, the Department estimates a property's market value and classifies it according to its use for property tax purposes.

By law, every parcel in the county must be viewed by an assessor at least once every five years. In addition, every year assessors visit any parcel with new construction, alterations or improvements.
