Hennepin County has no mansion or high-value real estate transfer tax. Minnesota's deed transfer tax under Minn. Stat. 287.21 is a flat 0.33 percent on all sales statewide.
Unlike Los Angeles' Measure ULA or New York City's mansion tax, Hennepin County and Minnesota have not enacted a tiered transfer tax targeting high-value property sales. Minnesota imposes a flat deed tax at Minn. Stat. 287.21 of 0.33 percent of consideration on the seller for real-property transfers, plus the 0.0023 percent mortgage registry tax under Minn. Stat. 287.035 on new mortgages. Cities and the county have no authority to add a local mansion tax without state legislative authorization. Affordable-housing funding instead comes from the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority levies and state Local Affordable Housing Aid.
Standard deed tax non-payment delays recording at the Hennepin County Recorder. Penalty interest accrues monthly under Minn. Stat. 287.21.
