Online payment methods

Pay your property taxes online by e-check, credit card, or debit card. 

Pay taxes online

You can pay

  • Current year taxes March through December. 
  • Prior year taxes (delinquent taxes, contracts, confession of judgments) any time of year. 
  • Proposed future taxes mid-November through February.
  • Up to $25,000 in one transaction. If you owe more, submit multiple online payments or pay by another method.

A payment is considered paid the date you submit it online. Bank posting may take a day or two longer. Payments can be viewed online within the next three business days. Hennepin County is not responsible for fees incurred for rejected, refused, or returned payments by your financial institution. You may also be charged a fee by Hennepin County for any returned payment.

Online payment types

The Paymentus portal offers secure, one-time payments for current, prior, and future tax years. 

E-check

Pay taxes directly from your checking or savings account. There is no cost to pay taxes by e-check.

E-check has moved to our Paymentus portal, which has expanded to include payment options for current, prior, and future tax years. 

Credit or debit card

This method is a secure, one-time payment of taxes with your credit or debit card. 

Property taxes may be paid with:

  • Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover credit cards 
  • Visa or MasterCard debit cards  

Minnesota Statute allows the counties to accept credit and debit cards for payment of real estate taxes, but specifies that any fees charged by the credit card companies must be passed on to the taxpayer and not paid by the county.

Hennepin County does not receive any of the fee that is charged. We only collect the property tax amount.

  • All credit cards and MasterCard debit cards will incur a 2.29% service fee
  • Visa debit cards will incur a $3.95 flat fee per invoice
Other payment methods

Pay on the 6th floor of the administrative tower at the Hennepin County Government Center.
