Do I have to allow the assessor into my home?
Even though Minnesota Statute 273.20 authorizes assessors to enter dwellings to conduct their appraisals, the same law recognizes a property owner’s right to privacy. If you wish to deny an appraiser access, you must notify us either verbally or in writing. Statute directs that we then make our best estimate of the property’s market value by making assumptions concerning the property’s finish and condition. No appeal board may change a market value without an interior inspection.
