MN HF675

Allows county auditors to waive personal service of property tax assessment petitions by agreeing to alternative service methods, designating alternative methods on their website, or acknowledging receipt through alternative means including email or electronic upload.

Permits service of petitions by any person, including a party to the action, rather than requiring personal service.

Requires county auditors to provide copies of petitions to the county assessor, county treasurer, and county attorney within 30 days if not already provided.

Maintains the April 30 filing deadline for petitions with the district court and preserves the ability to appeal to Tax Court under chapter 271 between receipt of valuation notice and May 1.
