INTRODUCTION
The Washington County Assessor Division has prepared this 2025 Assessment Report for use by
the County Board, City Councils, Town Boards, residents, and staff. This report includes specific
information regarding the 2025 assessment, as well as general information about both the
appeals and assessment processes.
Minnesota statutes establish specific requirements for the assessment of property. The law
requires that all real property be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most
likely selling price as of the January 2nd assessment date.
The estimated market values established through the 2025 assessment are based upon actual
real estate market trends of Washington County properties from October 1, 2023, through
September 30, 2024. From these trends, our mass appraisal system is used to determine
individual property values. Detailed discussion of the sales analysis can be found in the “Sales
Analysis” section of this report.
The summaries breaking down the adjustments made in each community, by property use, can
be found in the “Past and Current Year Adjustments/Parcel Count” section of this report.
Property owners who have questions or concerns regarding the estimated market value that has
been established for their property are encouraged to contact the property appraiser responsible
for their area. In most cases, an interior inspection of the property will be necessary. For detailed
discussion regarding the appeals period, please refer to the section of this report titled “Other
Assessment Related Information.”

SALES ANALYSIS SECTION
Sales Analysis
The assessment function is governed by Minnesota State statute. The law requires that all real
property be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price as of
the assessment date of January 2nd of each year. Assessors are historians and measure the
market based on sales which have occurred previous to the assessment date. Assessors do not
create the value or predict what the market will do; rather, the assessor’s job is to follow the
patterns set by the real estate market.
Information on the sales of real estate is of paramount importance to the assessors in a market-
based property tax system. Sales information is required to be submitted electronically using the
program developed by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. This program is known as the
Electronic Certificate of Real Estate Value (eCRV). The Department of Revenue requires all County
Assessors to utilize a specified time period for sales analysis. This time period of 12 months is
from October 1st through September 30th preceding the assessment date. Sales within this time
period will be used to determine the changes in assessed value that may be needed in each
community for the impending assessment.
For example, the sales that occurred between October 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024, are
used to establish the January 2, 2025, assessed values.
The assessor’s office is charged with setting estimated market values for tax purposes at actual
market value. The relationship between sales prices to estimated market value is called the sales
ratio. The target median ratio range is set by the assessor’s office for all Washington County
communities (for all classes of property); the range established for the 2025 assessment is 93%-
96%. We make every effort to make certain that each municipality in Washington County falls
within this range. In this way, we ensure an equitable distribution of the property tax burden for
all Washington County taxpayers.
Sales Statistics Defined
In addition to the median ratio, we have the ability to measure other statistics to test the accuracy
of the assessment. Some of these are also used at the state level. The primary statistics used are:
Median Ratio
This is a measure of central tendency. The median of a sample is the value for which one-half
(50%) of the observations (when stratified) will lie above that value and one-half will lie below
that value. The median is not susceptible to extreme observations referred to as outliers. We use
this ratio, much like the mean, not only to measure our assessment level, but also to analyze
5 | Page
property values by municipality, type of dwelling and value range. These studies enable us to
track market trends in neighborhoods, popular housing types and classes of property.
Arithmetic Mean Ratio
The mean is the average ratio. Unlike the median, the mean is influenced by outliers. We use this
ratio not only to measure our assessment level, but also to analyze property values by
municipality, type of dwelling and value range. These studies enable us to track market trends in
neighborhoods, popular housing types and classes of property.
Within the county, we strive to achieve a ratio within the 93%-96% range for the median and
mean. This allows us a margin to account for a fluctuating market and still maintain ratios within
state mandated guidelines.
Coefficient of Dispersion (COD)
The COD is used to measure the accuracy of the assessment. The COD indicates the spread of the
ratios from the mean or median ratio. The goal of a good assessment is a COD of 10 to 20. A COD
under 10 is considered excellent and anything over 20 will result in an assessment review by the
Department of Revenue.
Price-Related Differential (PRD)
The PRD is used to measure value related inequities in the assessment, referred to as regressivity
or progressivity. Appraised values are regressive if high value properties are under appraised
relative to low value properties and progressive if high value properties are over appraised
relative to the low value properties. The PRD is found by taking the mean (average) ratio of the
sample and dividing it by the weighted (aggregate) mean ratio. The acceptable range is .98 to
1.03.

Arm’s-Length Transactions
The Department of Revenue requires all County Assessors to utilize a specified time period in
their sales analysis. This time period is 12 months from October 1st through September 30th,
preceding the January 2nd assessment date. Sales within this time period will be used to
determine the changes in the prior years assessed values in each community for the impending
assessment.
The sales that occur within this October 1st through September 30th time period, each year, are
closely scrutinized by the appraisers within the Assessor Division. Evidence suggesting a forced
sale, foreclosure, a sale to a relative, or anything other than an arm’s-length transaction requires
the sales to be disqualified from the sales study. This is important, because the real estate sales
information constitutes the statistical basis for determining the annual adjustments that are
made to the valuation models.
An arm’s-length transaction is any transaction in which buyers and sellers of a product act
independently and have no relationship to each other. The concept of an arm's-length
transaction is to ensure that both parties in the deal are acting in their own self-interest and are
not subject to any pressure or duress from the other party.
The following graphs and charts show the number of arm’s-length transactions that occurred
within each sales period.

Residential Lender-Mediated Sales
Foreclosures
Properties in which the financial institution has repossessed the home from the owner due to
non-payment of mortgage obligations.
Short Sales
Unique arrangements where the financial institution and in-default homeowner work together
in an attempt to sell the home before it is foreclosed upon.
In both situations, lenders are highly motivated “sellers”, which can result in discounted asking
prices as they attempt to move the assets quickly from the balance sheets. Lender mediated sales
are not used in the sales study.

Residential Sales Statistics
The sales statistics (Number of Sales, Low Sale Price, and High Sale Price) are based on data
collected from sales that occurred between October 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024.
The remaining statistics are measured after annual value changes are applied to the going-in ratio
(previous year assessed value/sale price) in each community for the 2025 assessment. The
Department of Revenue uses median sales ratio to analyze the performance of the assessment.
Median sales ratios are calculated when there are at least six sales and ratios are required to be
between 90% to 105%. If there are 30 sales or less in a community, the median sales ratio is the
only statistic deemed reliable.

Appraiser Activity: Permit & Quintile Review Counts
Current state law mandates that all property must be re-assessed each year and reviewed once
every five years (aka quintile). Staff also inspect properties that have taken out a construction
permit during the course of the year.
During 2024 (for the 2025 assessment), the Assessor Division appraisers and locally hired
assessors reviewed 27,029 properties. Below is the breakdown of the properties that were
reviewed over the last five years.

Appraiser Activity: Tax Petition Related
Minnesota Tax Court has been established by the Minnesota Legislature for the purpose of
hearing only tax related cases. The Court’s judges have expertise in tax laws and apply that
knowledge in a manner to ensure that taxpayers are assessed in a fair and equitable way.
The tax petition process is a complicated and ever-changing part of our business. The entire
process continues to consume a large amount of our Commercial/Industrial/Apartment appraiser
workload.
The table below provides a summary of the petition filings in Washington County over the last
five payable years. Petitions related to taxes payable 2024 increased in the number of petitions
filed by 75 petitions. All property types have an increase in filings. The total value under petitions
filed for pay2024 increased roughly 40.6% when compared to the previous year.

Assessment Process: Statutory Requirements
Minnesota law establishes specific requirements for the entire property tax system, including the
assessment of property (M.S. Chapter 273). These requirements have not changed during the
past year. The laws require the following:
1. All real property is to be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most
likely selling price at the time of assessment. Special qualified exclusions such as the
Veterans’ Exclusion are subtracted from the market value to arrive at the taxable value.
2. Property is classified according to state law, and the tax capacity is calculated.
3. The tax capacity is multiplied by the tax rate (the total of county, school, city, and
miscellaneous levies) to determine the amount of property tax.
The annual property assessment focuses on the very first step of this process - establishing an
estimated market value for each parcel of property.
Market values are assessed locally by either a county employed appraiser or a locally hired
assessor. The work of both county and local assessors is monitored by the County Assessor,
whose work is in turn monitored by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The monitoring
agency is authorized by law to adjust the property assessment to help ensure county-wide and
state-wide equalization of property assessments.
The County Assessor has established the standard that all Washington County communities, with
at least six (6) sales in their sales study, have a community median ratio in the range of 93%-96%
of actual market values in relationship to time-adjusted sales prices. At times, local assessment
levels have been adjusted by the County Assessor or the State of Minnesota.
State law also requires that each individual property be reviewed by the assessor at least once
every five years. Each community has a rotating revaluation schedule to ensure that this
requirement is met.
What is market value?
Minnesota Statue 273.03 defines market value as “… the usual selling price at the time of
assessment.” The Assessor’s Office works throughout the year to estimate market values of each
property for the following January 2nd assessment date.
41 | Page
How is market value determined?
Review Property: Approximately every fifth year, an appraiser working under the supervision of
the County Assessor will review the property. Any property that had a building permit issued in
a given year is reviewed and the new value is calculated as of January 2nd following the
construction.
Gather Information: The appraiser gathers information on all characteristics of the property that
affect market value, such as size, age, quality of construction, basement finish, and extra features,
such as fireplaces, walk-out basements, et cetera.
Compute Value: The characteristics are entered into a computerized system (CAMA). Information
on actual market sales is used to establish the building and component rates used to calculate
the property’s market value. The market value estimated by the appraiser should be very close
to the amount the property would sell for, if placed on the open market.
Why may market value change from year to year?
Property values change continuously depending on the economic conditions affecting the local
market. In addition to market changes, physical changes made to a property can also affect its
market value. All factors are considered in estimating the value of property.

Appeals Process
In Minnesota, property tax laws provide the legal parameters that govern the work of assessors.
These statutes lay down a cycle of assessment activities that are conducted on an annual basis.
Each year, assessors are required to work on a number of tasks that include listing, valuing, and
classifying all taxable properties; processing both real and personal property transfers; analyzing
market data; monitoring assessment levels for several different classes of property; and
arranging and conducting an appeals process.
The latter of these activities is a key part of the assessment cycle that provides property owners
with an opportunity to review and, if necessary, challenge their estimate of market value and/or
classification that will be used for taxation purposes in the following year.
At what point in the assessment cycle does the appeals process begin?
The appeals process begins in March and extends through June. When property owners receive
their Valuation Notices during the month of March, they should read them carefully for
instructions about deadlines, filing procedures, meeting dates and times. If they are not clear,
they should call the assessor’s office for clarification and additional information because a missed
deadline, an incorrect filing, or the failure to attend a scheduled meeting can cause an appeal to
be dismissed.
What steps should property owners take to appeal their assessments?
There are two avenues of appeal that property owners may take to challenge their assessments.
The first route is referred to as the three-step appeal and the second is known as the one-step
appeal. These steps are illustrated in the flow chart on the following page.
How should property owners begin their appeal?
Property owners are encouraged to contact their appraiser to discuss their property assessment
concerns. An informal meeting can be scheduled to review the property, examine market data,
answer questions, and clarify the valuation and classification practices used. This discussion can
also be handled by telephone, mail, or email during regular business hours.
