Should You Let the County Assessor In? | Minnesota Homeowners Guide
📬 Did you receive a letter from the county saying the assessor will be coming out to your house? In this short 2‑minute video we walk through what that means, whether you should let them in, and how to decide based on your county tax records.
In this video we use our scenario from Blaine, Minnesota (Anoka County) but the info applies to homeowners across the Twin Cities metro and surrounding Minnesota counties.
🎯 What you’ll learn:
– What the assessor visit letter means and why you got it
– The pros & cons of letting the assessor inside your home/property
– How to check your county tax/assessment records ahead of time
– Tips for deciding if you should grant access or schedule a different time
– How this visit could benefit you (and how it might not)
✅ Why this matters: An assessor’s visit can impact your property’s assessed value which then affects your tax liability. Being prepared gives you control instead of being surprised.

📍For local viewers: While I reference Blaine and Anoka County, many of these rules are similar in Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Washington and other counties in Minnesota. Always check your specific county assessor’s website for details.
