  • News
  • Feb 19, 2026

Property taxes play a key role in funding the services our community relies on every day, but property taxes are complex and can be difficult to understand. Olmsted County is pleased to share a new short video that helps explain the property tax process in a clear, easy-to-understand way. 


The video explains: 

  • How property values are determined. 
  • How local budgets and levies are set. 
  • How property values and levies come together to create your property tax bill.  
  • Where property tax dollars go. 
  • Why taxes may change from year to year.  
  • How residents can stay informed and get involved in the process. 

Watch the video to learn more about how property taxes work and how your voice helps shape our community.
