Minneapolis businesses pay property taxes through Hennepin County under Minnesota's classification system. There is no separate Minneapolis gross receipts business tax; instead, businesses pay licensing fees and Minnesota state taxes.
Unlike Los Angeles, Minneapolis does not levy a city gross receipts business tax. Businesses pay Minnesota state corporate franchise tax under Minn. Stat. Chapter 290 and sales tax under Chapter 297A. Real and personal property taxes flow through Hennepin County under Minnesota's classification rate system, where commercial-industrial property over a threshold pays a higher classification rate than residential. Minneapolis funds its operations through a combination of property tax levies, lodging taxes, sales tax revenue sharing, and license fees set by Title 8 of the city code. Each business license type has its own annual fee schedule published by the city.
Late property tax payments accrue interest and penalties through Hennepin County. Failure to pay state corporate franchise or sales taxes triggers Minnesota Department of Revenue enforcement, including liens, levies, and revocation of permits.
