Under the Ag2School Credit program, it is estimated the State of Minnesota will contribute 52.89% towards the requested voter approved bond principal and interest payments.
Applying this credit amount solely to both referendum questions upon passage on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, the State of Minnesota will pay approximately $13,100,000 of the total bond borrowing amount of $24,815,000.
If you own agricultural land and the referendum were to pass, you would receive the Minnesota Ag2School Tax Credit.
The Ag2School Tax Credit is an automatic 70% property tax credit for owners of agricultural land. (It does not include the house, garage, and one acre surrounding the agricultural homestead.)
This tax credit reduces the burden for agricultural property owners on existing and future school building bonds.
This tax credit program is not a tax deduction – it is an automatic dollar-for-dollar credit.
There is no application to receive the Ag2School credit. The credit is reduced automatically on the agricultural landowner’s property tax bill.
