SFIA News
Legislative Changes:
Starting in 2027, SFIA payments will be calculated differently using a lower percentage. This may result in a payment that is lower. In addition to the calculation change, the payments may now decrease more than 10% each year.
Common questions about this change:
Can I release a portion of my enrolled land?
Yes. You may release a portion of your enrolled land. However, you must release the entire parcel.
When can I apply to have my land released?
Check the MN Dept of Revenue SFIA website.
After applying to have my land released, how long can I expect the process to take?
Typically, the process will be completed within 45 days.
Can I move my land into 2c (Managed Forest Land)?
Once your land has been removed, contact your county assessor for the 2c requirements. As a reminder, the application deadline for 2c is April 30 to be in effect for taxes payable for the following year.
