This bill proposes an amendment to the Minnesota Constitution that would allow certain property owners to vote on local property tax levy and bond referendum questions in the precinct where their property is located. Specifically, the amendment would grant voting rights to owners of:

• Nonhomesteaded, noncommercial agricultural land
• Commercial or industrial property where the owner operates a small business

These property owners would be able to vote on tax-related issues affecting their property, even if they do not reside in the precinct. The amendment would be put to a public vote in the 2026 general election.

The bill also directs the Minnesota Secretary of State to establish voting registration procedures for these property owners, allowing them to cast their vote through absentee ballots or mail elections.

If approved, this would expand voting rights to nonresident property owners for specific financial decisions impacting local taxation.
