MOORHEAD — The Minnesota Property Tax Refund and Renters Refund programs are now open, and officials are reminding the public to file for their 2022 property tax refund before deadline.

The deadline is Aug. 15, and special refunds may be available to homeowners who had a 12% or more property tax increase regardless of income, according to a press release from the City of Moorhead.

Both renters and homeowners that meet requirements may be eligible. Visit the Minnesota Department of Revenue for more information.

Renters and homeowners can file for free and can file through tax software or paper submission.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
