If you have not received a property tax statement by the statutory mailing deadline, it is your responsibility to contact the Auditor's Tax Division to have a duplicate statement sent to you. 

The St. Louis County Auditor's Tax Division accepts payments of more or less than the exact amount of a tax installment due for the current year.  If the accepted payment is less than the amount due, it is applied first to the penalty accrued for the year that the payment is made (M.S. 277.01; 279.01, SUBD. 1).

If you pay your tax after the due dates, a penalty will be added to your tax (M.S. 277.01).  The later you pay, the greater the penalty you must pay.  For details, check the back of your property tax statement. 

• May 15 First half of the annual real estate and personal property tax payment (or the entire amount if stated on your tax statement) is due. 
• May 31 First half of the annual resort property tax payment (or the entire amount if stated on your tax statement) is due. 
• August 31 First half of the annual manufactured home tax payment (or entire amount if stated on your tax statement) is due.
• October 15 Second half of the annual real estate and personal property tax payment is due (non-agricultural parcels only). 
• November 15 Second half of the annual real estate (agricultural parcels only) and manufactured home tax payment is due. 

If the due date falls on a weekend, the payment is due the following business day.  Payments mailed to the County office must be postmarked on or before the tax due date.
