What is the Ohio property tax assessment ratio?

Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market (true) value statewide, under Ohio Revised Code §5713.03. Your county auditor must use this ratio when calculating your tax bill.

How much is the Ohio Homestead Reduction in 2026?

For tax year 2026, the general Homestead Reduction shields $29,000 of market value for qualifying owners age 65+, totally disabled, or surviving spouses age 59+ with Ohio Adjusted Gross Income under $41,000. The enhanced amount for 100% disabled veterans and surviving spouses of public-safety officers killed in the line of duty is $58,000 with no income limit. File DTE Form 105A with your county auditor.

When is the Ohio Board of Revision deadline?

Ohio's statutory Board of Revision (BOR) complaint deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year, per ORC §5715.19. Complaints are filed using DTE Form 1 with your county auditor at no cost. Late filings are rejected except in very narrow clerical-error circumstances.

How much is the Ohio real property conveyance fee?

Ohio's conveyance fee has two parts: a mandatory $1.00 per $1,000 state fee (ORC §319.54(F)(3)) and a permissive county levy of up to $3.00 per $1,000 (ORC §322.02). Most Ohio counties charge the full $4.00 per $1,000. A separate $0.50 transfer fee applies per parcel. Filed using DTE Form 100 at the auditor's office at closing.

Who qualifies for Ohio's CAUV agricultural tax break?

Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program lets actively farmed land be taxed on its agricultural value rather than its market value. Eligibility requires 10+ acres devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture, or smaller parcels with $2,500+ in gross annual income from agriculture. Apply using DTE Form 109 and renew annually with DTE 109A. Removing land from CAUV triggers recoupment of three years of saved taxes under ORC §5713.34.

Value and classification appeals

Challenge an assessment through the correct sequence

2026 timing: The 2026 local and county Board of Appeal and Equalization meetings have passed, and the Minnesota Tax Court filing deadline for taxes payable in 2026 was April 30, 2026. Contact the Assessor now to correct objective errors and prepare for the next applicable appeal cycle.

Start with the assessor who valued the property

Find the correct regional assessor Use the parcel location rather than assuming every property is handled by the Duluth office.

Review the property record together Ask about classification, market trends, comparable sales and each disputed property characteristic.

Identify the exact issue Separate a factual record error from a disagreement about estimated market value.

Collect supporting evidence Use measurements, photographs, permits, inspection reports, a qualified appraisal or relevant market sales.

Use the local Board of Appeal and Equalization Local city and township boards normally meet in April or May.

Continue to the County Board when eligible The county board normally meets during the last two weeks of June.

Consider Minnesota Tax Court Follow the small-claims or regular-division rules and applicable April 30 filing deadline.

Evidence matched to the problem

Useful evidence for common assessment disputes
Issue	Useful evidence	Weak approach
Incorrect building size	Measurements, floor plans, permits and photographs.	Saying only that the value feels high.
Poor condition	Inspections, dated photos and contractor estimates.	Ordinary maintenance complaints without cost evidence.
Classification is wrong	Actual property use, occupancy, acreage and supporting records.	Relying only on the desired tax outcome.
Market value is excessive	Comparable arm’s-length sales and a relevant appraisal.	Using only listings or unrelated low-price sales.
New construction is overstated	Construction status, permit records, completion date and photographs.	Ignoring work completed by the assessment date.

2026 homeowner property-tax refunds

Regular refund

For taxes payable in 2026, the county lists a 2025 household-income limit of $142,490.

Special refund

The net Homestead tax increase must generally be at least 12% and at least $100, excluding certain new-construction effects.

2026 filing deadline

August 17, 2026

File Minnesota Form M1PR with the Department of Revenue.

Deadline approaching: As of August 7, 2026, the published M1PR deadline is ten days away. Do not wait for the county office to file the state refund application for you.

Senior Citizen Property Tax Deferral

The county describes this program for qualifying homeowners age 65 or older with household income of $96,000 or less. Deferred tax becomes a lien and generally becomes due within 90 days after sale, transfer or loss of Homestead eligibility.

Senior deferral deadline: Applications are due to the Minnesota Department of Revenue by November 1 to defer a portion of the following year’s property tax.

Disability Homestead

Qualifying blind or totally and permanently disabled Homestead owners may be eligible for Class 1b treatment. Income or benefit-document requirements may apply.

Review Homestead rules Review 2026 property-tax refunds Review senior deferral

Agricultural and woodland classification

Check agricultural, Green Acres and managed-forest rules

Common land-classification programs
Program	Core rule	Deadline or preparation
Class 2a Agricultural	Generally at least 11 acres, with 10 contiguous acres used to produce a qualifying agricultural product for sale.	Smaller properties may qualify in limited circumstances; contact the Assessor.
Green Acres	Defers part of the tax impact where qualifying agricultural land is influenced by non-agricultural market pressure.	Application is due May 1 for taxes payable the following year.
Class 2c Managed Forest	Generally at least 20 eligible contiguous forested acres, rural in character, without agricultural use or a structure.	A qualifying forest-management plan must be in place; apply by May 1.
SFIA	State incentive payments for eligible private forest stewardship.	Administered by the Minnesota Department of Revenue, not as the same program as Class 2c.

Do not confuse classification with ownership. Owning rural, wooded or agricultural acreage does not automatically create a reduced classification.

Recorder and Registrar of Titles

Find deeds, mortgages, liens, plats and title records

St. Louis County property can be either Abstract or Torrens. The correct record type determines which index, document and Certificate of Title information applies.

Abstract property

Title history is established through recorded documents in the abstract chain.

The county says approximately two-thirds of recorded documents concern Abstract property.

Torrens property

Title is registered under court supervision, and the Registrar issues a Certificate of Title.

The county says approximately one-third of filings involve Torrens property.

Public research workflow

Tax-forfeited land

Research county-managed tax-forfeited property safely

Tax-forfeited parcels were once privately owned but forfeited to Minnesota because of unpaid real-estate taxes. St. Louis County’s Land and Minerals Department manages these properties and their sale process.

Do not confuse delinquency with forfeiture. A parcel showing unpaid tax is not automatically available for purchase. Use only the current Land and Minerals sale list.

Buyer research workflow

Open the current official sale page Check whether the parcel is in an auction, settlement sale or over-the-counter list.

Locate it in County Land Explorer Review parcel context, road proximity, water, zoning and surrounding ownership.

Read the sale booklet and disclaimers Check minimum price, payment terms, timber, certified assessments and available financing.

Investigate access and encumbrances The county does not guarantee access and sells subject to existing easements and rights-of-way.

Complete county registration Pre-registration confirms purchase eligibility but does not register a bidder on the Public Surplus platform.

Register separately for an online auction Follow the auction-platform instructions when bidding is conducted online.

Some available-property sales

The county may offer financing for up to ten years.

The published down payment is generally 10% or $500, whichever is greater, plus applicable fees.

Settlement-sale property

Certain settlement-sale parcels require payment in full.

A contract for deed may not be available for those listings.

Published 2026 interest: The county currently lists a 7% annual statutory interest rate for qualifying financed available-property purchases.

Ten practical answers

St. Louis County property search FAQs

Is St. Louis County located in Ohio?

No. The St. Louis County Auditor-Treasurer and property-search tools covered here belong to St. Louis County, Minnesota. Ohio does not have a St. Louis County.

What is the official St. Louis County property search?

Use the official Property Details Search for assessment and property characteristics. Use Parcel Tax Lookup for taxpayer information, tax years, tax statements, payment links and map access.

What is the difference between Property Details Search and Parcel Tax Lookup?

Property Details Search focuses on physical property, assessment and sales criteria. Parcel Tax Lookup focuses on taxpayer, value, tax-year, statement, payment and Land Explorer information.

How do I search a St. Louis County property by address?

Start with the house number and a short street-name fragment. Remove directions, street suffixes and unit information if the complete address produces no result.

When are St. Louis County Minnesota property taxes due in 2026?

The first-half real-estate and personal-property payment was due May 15, 2026. The second half for non-agricultural real estate and personal property is due October 15, 2026. Agricultural and manufactured-home second-half payments normally fall on November 15, which moves to the following business day when it falls on a weekend.

What are the St. Louis County online property-tax payment fees?

The county currently lists online e-check payments as free. Credit cards, most debit cards, PayPal, Venmo and Google Pay carry a 2.35% fee. Visa debit carries a listed $3.95 fee per payment type.

How do I appeal a St. Louis County property value?

Contact the assessor who valued the property first. The normal sequence is the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization, the County Board of Appeal and Equalization and, when necessary, Minnesota Tax Court.

How do I apply for Homestead in St. Louis County?

Contact the Assessor office serving the property’s region. A qualifying applicant must generally have an ownership interest or qualifying-relative relationship, occupy the property as a primary residence and satisfy Minnesota residency rules.

Where can I obtain a St. Louis County deed or Certificate of Title?

Contact the St. Louis County Recorder. Property may be Abstract or Torrens. Public terminals are available, professional online subscriptions are offered, and document or Certificate of Title copies may be ordered for published fees.

Are County Land Explorer parcel lines legal boundaries?

No. County Land Explorer is useful for locating parcels, addresses, zoning context and county data, but its parcel graphics do not replace a deed, recorded plat or professional boundary survey.

Information checked August 7, 2026: State location, parcel-search functions, tax-search methods, officeholder, contacts, payment dates, electronic-payment fees, assessment appeals, Homestead, refunds, senior deferral, agricultural and forest classifications, Recorder services, copy fees, GIS themes and tax-forfeited land terms were checked against St. Louis County and Minnesota government resources.

Verify with the official Ohio source

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
