Property Tax Relief Due to COVID - 19
We are aware of the pressures on our community due to COVID-19. The County is required by law to collect property taxes as set forth in Minnesota Statutes. Minnesota Statutes require that the first half property tax payment be made on or before May 15. Unless the Minnesota legislature extends or modifies this deadline, that date remains in effect. The County does not have authority to extend the deadline for payment of property taxes.
On April 21st, 2020 the Wright County Board of Commissioners approved to reduce the penalty for late payments on first half property taxes.
If you cannot pay on time, to minimize the accrual of penalties on property taxes, the County encourages you to pay as much of your property taxes as you are able to on or before the deadline.
