The median sales price of a Hennepin County home in the first quarter of 2025 was $385,000, based on data from the 2,094 properties sold during that time. In 2025, the median tax bill for the county was $4,938, which is 1.3% of the median value of the homes that were taxed.
This is 1.2 times higher than the average effective property tax rate of 1.11% in the U.S. in 2023.
The analysis of Hennepin County real estate data showed homeowners in Osseo, Tonka Bay, and Greenfield paid the highest rates.
The above article calculates the effective property tax rate for 2025 using estimated inflation values and 2024 tax data provided by the county. In some cases, the actual effective property tax rate may vary slightly.
The U.S. housing market has surged in recent years, with its total value approaching $50 trillion in 2024—nearly five times its value in 2000.
“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
