In 2017, Minnesota State Legislature conceived and passed the Ag2School tax credit program significantly reducing the tax burden on agricultural landowners.

• This tax credit reduces burden for agricultural property owners on existing and future school building bonds

• There is no application to receive the Ag2School credit. 

• The credit is reduced automatically on the agricultural landowner’s property tax bill.

• Non-agricultural landowners (homeowners) will NOT see an increase in their taxes as a result of this tax credit – the burden for the credit is entirely paid by the State.
