What information must I provide to receive homestead?
Minnesota Statutes, section 273.124, subdivision 13 requires Social Security numbers and signatures of all owners occupying the property to be listed on the homestead application.

Additionally, the Social Security numbers and signatures of all spouses not listed as owners on the deed of record must also be listed, regardless of whether or not they occupy the property.

The Social Security numbers or affidavits or other proofs of property owners and spouses are private data. The county assessor may share the information contained on the homestead application with the county auditor, county treasurer, county attorney, Commissioner of Revenue, or other federal, state or local taxing authorities to verify your compliance with this and other tax programs.

You can refuse to provide the information on the homestead form. However, failure to provide this information may result in a fractional homestead or denial of the homestead classification.
