Statutory April 30 deadline for service/filing
Generally, Minnesota Statutes section 278.01 requires service of one copy of a tax petition upon the county auditor, one copy on the county attorney, one copy on the county treasurer, and three copies on the county assessor. The county assessor then forwards one copy of the petition to the appropriate local government authorities and to the applicable school board of the district in which the property is located. For all counties, the petitioner must also file the copies with proof of service, in the office of the court administrator of the district court on or before April 30 of the year in which the tax becomes payable.
