The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 273.063, to establish limitations on the county levy for assessment services, particularly in relation to cities with a population of 400,000 or more. It specifies that in counties with a city of the first class, the county assessor's powers and duties within that city will be performed by the city assessor. Additionally, in cities with populations of 30,000 or more, the county assessor's responsibilities will also be transferred to the city assessor, while the county assessor retains certain supervisory duties.

Furthermore, the bill introduces specific conditions under which the county levy for assessment services can be imposed. It states that in cities with a duly appointed city assessor in a county with a large city, the levy certified for assessment services will only cover certain powers and duties, as well as assessing services for smaller cities with populations under 30,000. This new legal framework is set to take effect starting with the assessment year 2026.
