INTRODUCTION
The Washington County Assessor Division has prepared this 2023 Assessment Report for
use by the County Board, City Councils, Town Boards, residents, and staff. This report
includes specific information regarding the 2023 assessment, as well as general information
about both the appeals and assessment process.
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 2023 assessment are based upon
actual real estate market trends of Washington County properties from October 1, 2021
through September 30, 2022. 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 Present Adjustments” 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, 2021 and September 30, 2022
are used to establish the January 2, 2023 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
2023 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 property values by municipality, type of dwelling and value range. These
5 | P a g e
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.
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.
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 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 1 st through September
30th, preceding the assessment date. Sales within this time period will be used to determine
the changes in the prior years assessed value 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, 2021 and September 30, 2022.
The remaining statistics are measured after the percent of change factor (local effort) is
applied to the going-in ratio (previous year assessed value/sale price) in each community
for the 2023 assessment. If there are 30 sales or less in a community, the median 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 inspects properties that have taken out a
construction permit during the course of the year.
During 2022 (for the 2023 assessment), the Assessor Division appraisers and locally hired
assessors, reviewed 28,764 properties. The breakdown of the properties that were reviewed

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 2022 decreased in the number of
petitions filed by 15.4% or 31 petitions. The only property use that showed an increase
was the residential class. Total value under petition for pay2022 declined roughly 10.2%
when compared to the previous year. The section titled petition value by class indicates
that the residential value under petition had a slight increase. While apartments, that have
experienced substantial increases over the last several years, the value under petition saw a
decline by nearly 19%.

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, has 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 2 assessment date.
41 | P a g e
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 value. The market value estimated by the appraiser in this
way 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.
42 | P a g e
Explaining the 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 e-mail during regular business
hours.

Appeals Process: What are the options?
Appeal to your Local Board of Appeal & Equalization (LBAE) or attend one of four
regional Open Book meetings (meeting times & locations are listed on your valuation
notice).
Appeal in person, by letter, or by designated representative.
If your appeal is not addressed to your satisfaction, or you and the County staff
cannot agree to a change in valuation or classification, continue to the next step.
Appeal to the Washington County Board of Appeal & Equalization (CBAE).
You must have first appealed to your LBAE (unless your property is in an Open
Book community) Check your valuation notice to verify.
The CBAE meets in June - Call the Assessor’s Office at 651-430-6175 by May 3,
2023, to make an appointment.
If you still do not feel your concerns have been addressed to your satisfaction,
you may next appeal to the Minnesota Tax Court.
