Assessor

**Updated 12/30/2020

Our staff is currently working Monday through Friday our normal business hours. The appraisal staff continues to be working on 2020 permitted work and will also continue updating photos in the City of Albert Lea and township quintile areas for the 2021 assessment.  These areas are highlighted on the map below.  In an effort to continue social distancing and have minimal face to face contact with the public, we will NOT be knocking on doors or leaving door hangers.  Appraisers will be wearing identification badges and be in a Freeborn county vehicle.  Your patience is appreciated. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

 If you have a question or concern please contact us via email at jaci.koeppen@co.freeborn.mn.us. Otherwise leave us a voicemail at 507-377-5176. Your patience is appreciated and we will be as responsive as possible during this time. 


Freeborn County is set up under a "true county assessor" system which means all property assessments are conducted by the County.  The County Assessor’s Office is responsible for the valuation and classification of all property within the county for property tax purposes as provided by state law and regulation.
