Brooklyn Park City Assessing Department

Brooklyn Park runs its own Assessing Department, which sets the estimated market value and classification of each property in the city. Values and classifications are based on state law, and the assessor appraises property at market value while classifying it based on actual use. Staff maintain property records, review all properties at least once every five years, and inspect any property with active building permits. The city divides its properties into five different review areas, with one area assessed in depth each year. This rotating system ensures all properties get regular attention on a predictable schedule.

The Assessing Department also manages the property value appeals process and any programs tied to property assessment and classification. Under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 272, all real property is assessed at estimated market value. Brooklyn Park follows this standard for every parcel. A Property Assessment Map is available online for owners who want to see which review area their property falls in. The city also refers property owners to the Hennepin County Assessors Office at 612-348-3046 for additional questions or resources at hennepin.us/residents/property/assessor.

The Board of Appeal and Equalization for Brooklyn Park is scheduled for April 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. This board considers market value and classification as of January 2nd. It does not address prior year valuations or the dollar amount of property taxes owed.
