Assessing & Values
Market Update
Over the past two years, the real estate market in Washington County, as well as the rest of the Twin Cities Metro Area has seen some of the largest gains in recent history. Washington County's 2023 assessed values mirror the market value gains that have taken place.
The 2023 values are based on real estate transactions that occurred between October 1, 2021 and September 30, 2022. These sales are also trended by the Department of Revenue to keep up with local market conditions. For example, if a property sold in the beginning of the sales period it will be trended to reflect how properties are selling on the January 2nd, 2023 assessment date.
Property owners should be receiving their 2023 valuation notice in late-March. If you have any questions regarding your 2023 market value please call the number on your valuation notice or our main at 651-430-6175 and your call can be transferred to the appraiser responsible for your area.
For more information, please reference the 2023 Assessment Report, under "Important News" located on the Washington County Assessor's web page, minnesotaassessors.com.
