Property tax task force established, and report required.

HF 3396 establishes a property tax task force to investigate rising property taxes across Minnesota counties, cities, and school districts. The task force, composed of 6 members including legislators, local government leaders, and the state revenue commissioner, will study causes of tax increases and recommend ways to improve transparency in local government budget reporting. It must submit a report with these recommendations to the legislature by January 15, 2027, which will then require a public hearing during the next legislative session. This bill creates a process for studying property tax issues but does not change current tax laws or rates.
