BRAINERD — Crow Wing County Land Services encourages eligible property owners to apply for homestead status on their property.

Homestead applications for owner-occupied and relative-occupied properties must be received by Dec. 31 for the 2026 payable tax year. Applications are available at www.crowwing.gov , in person at 322 Laurel St., Suite 15, Brainerd, or by calling 218-824-1010.

Homestead classification may affect the amount of property taxes payable in 2026, and it may affect property tax refund eligibility.

“Receiving homestead on your property may make a substantial reduction to your property taxes,” said Michaelle Cronquist, Assessing Services supervisor, in a news release. “We encourage everyone who qualifies to submit their application before the 31st.”
