Important Information Regarding Assessment and Classification of Property
This may affect your 2026 property tax payments.
Notice is hereby given that the Board of Appeal and Equalization of the Normanna shall meet on May 8, 6-7 PM, at the Normanna Town Hall, 6472 French River Rd. The purpose of this meeting is to determine whether taxable property in the jurisdiction has been properly valued and classified by the assessor, and also to determine whether corrections need to be made.
If you believe the value or classification of your property is incorrect, please contact your assessor’s office to discuss your concerns. If you are still not satisfied with the valuation or classification after discussing it with your assessor, you may appear before the local board of appeal and equalization. The board shall review the valuation, classification, or both if necessary, and shall correct it as needed. Generally, an appearance before your local board of appeal and equalization is required by law before an appeal can be taken to your county board of appeal and equalization.
Ellen Hanson, Clerk

Update on Broadband Internet in Normanna Township:
On Tuesday, April 9, 2024 the St. Louis County Commissioners unanimously approved awarding Normanna Township $400,000 for Broadband Internet. The award is contingent on Mediacom being awarded a Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) grant. Mediacom and Normanna Township are asking for your support. Please either send an email or letter to Mediacom supporting their efforts to bring high speed broadband to Normanna as soon as you can. Your action will definitely make a difference in seeking funds from DEED through Mediacom’s application. It is helpful if you can include why you feel high speed internet is important to you. For example, this could be for work, school, medical appointments or other reasons. You can send your correspondence to Christopher Lord from Mediacom at the following:
1613 Nantahala Beach Road
Gulf Breeze, Florida 32563
or email to: clord@mediacomcc.com
It may be that you are not interested in seeking fiber to the home through this process, we still encourage to send a support letter for the Normanna residents who are interested and need it. Over the past several years when a property owner has fiber to the home/broadband internet it has increased the property value when homes are being sold.
All correspondence will be used in the grant process through St. Louis County and DEED. Now that the St. Louis Commissioners have approved their portion of the process our chances are higher for the DEED grant to be approved. It is very important that Mediacom receive support letters/emails to include with their DEED application. Please show your support by sending in letters or emails as soon as possible. Thank you.
Town Board: Chair Dan Johnson; Supervisor Dennis Gunsolus; Supervisor Tammy Courrege; Clerk/Treasurer Ellen Hanson.
