Is your home's value in line with similar homes?

The city sets a value for your home each year, and your property tax is based on it. Type your address to see how that value compares with what similar homes near you actually sold for.

Houses in Minneapolis only (not condos or duplexes yet). What you type stays in your browser. If you use your location, your browser asks first, and the coordinates go to OpenStreetMap only to find your street.

How the city's values compare with sale prices

How we did this, and how accurate it is
  • We looked at every regular home sale in Minneapolis over the past five years, using public records from the city and Hennepin County.
  • Similar homes are houses within about half a mile that are close in size and age, sold in the two years before January. Their prices are updated to January using how much Minneapolis prices changed in that time.
  • We also built a computer model that estimates what a home would sell for in a given month, from its size, age, rooms, location, recent nearby sales, past sale and building permits, plus how Minneapolis prices move through the year. It never sees the city's values.

Tested on homes that sold after the city set its values:

Did you know your name is probably public?

If you own a home in Hennepin County, your name, sale price, sale date, value and tax history are likely visible to anyone on the county's property search. Property ownership is public record in Minnesota, as it is almost everywhere in the U.S. It keeps things accountable: anyone can check whether taxes are fair, buyers and lenders can confirm who owns a property, and cities know who's responsible for a problem property.

This site never shows owner names. It only uses property details and sale prices.

If you want more privacy:

  • Hold the property in a trust or LLC. The public record then shows the trust or company instead of your name. It has legal and tax consequences (and can affect things like your homestead status), so talk to a real estate attorney first.
  • Safe at Home. If you're a survivor of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking, or otherwise fear for your safety, Minnesota's address confidentiality program can keep your name and address out of property records. Minnesota Secretary of State: Safe at Home (Minn. Stat. § 13.045).
  • Judges and some other officials can ask to have their personal information withheld under state law (Minn. Stat. § 13.991, § 480.50).
