Taxation of Leased Land
March 24, 2008
At their March 18, 2008 meeting, the St. Louis County Board of Commissioners passed a
resolution requesting that the Department of Revenue Directive on Taxation of federal, state,
county and city leases be delayed to allow the Legislature to review this issue in the following
two areas:
1. The section directing Assessors to value the land as if it were owned by the lessee in fee
simple, with no restrictions or covenants. This directive will subject the lessee to a tax that is far
greater than their ownership interest in the property.
2. The unfairness of granting tax exempt status to state land leased under section 92.46 while all
other government leased land is subject to tax as if the lessee owned it in fee simple.
This resolution has been sent to the Minnesota Department of Revenue and all area State
legislators. Citizens wishing to contact their legislator on this issue, may use the information below to do so.
A full copy of the Department of Revenue directive is posted on the Assessor's Department
website which you may access by clicking here.
