SEARCH METHODS
Search the Blue Earth County Property Information System in one of two ways:

if you have the parcel number, you may find that is the easiest way to find a specific property
quickly.

ADDRESS SEARCH TIPS

- By house number only (easiest)
- By street name only
- By full address
Search by house number only.

Search by full address.
This is an exact match search, so you must spell the street name correctly, use the correct abbreviation (Ave, Av, St, Dr, etc), not use punctuation and click on the city or township where the property is physically located.
- Enter the full street name including any abbreviations or direction indicator
- Make sure you've spelled everything correctly

Various parts of the County differ in how they abbreviate Avenue (AV or AVE) and

For example, if SECOND AVE is not getting the result you want, try SECOND AV, then
2 AV, 2ND AV, etc.

Frequently Asked/Answered Questions
HOW OFTEN IS THE PROPERTY DATA ON THIS SYSTEM UPDATED?:
The data is updated once a week.
WHO DO I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROPERTY DATA, VALUES, AMOUNTS, ETC.?:
Contact the Land Records Department at taxhelp@co.blue-earth.mn.us
WHO DO I CONTACT IF I HAVE TECHNICAL COMPUTER OR INTERNET QUESTIONS?:
Send email to taxtech@co.blue-earth.mn.us
WHAT IF I DON'T KNOW THE CITY OR TOWNSHIP?:
Try searching on just the house number, or just the street name.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT 5-DIGIT HOUSE
NUMBERS?:
5-digit house numbers indicate that the address is in a
rural area. For most efficient searching when using 5-digit house numbers, enter the house number only, and click on the "By House Number" Go button.
FULL ADDRESS SEARCH: DO I CLICK ON CITY OR TOWNSHIP WHEN SEARCHING FOR RURAL
ADDRESSES?:
When searching by full address for a rural parcel, enter the
address, then click on the appropriate township button.
Why? Rural
property tax addresses use the actual township in which the parcel is located.
However, you may see the same parcel listed in the phone book with a city next to
it. That city in the phone book is based on the parcel's zip code and simply identifies
where mail is delivered. Disregard phone book and US Mail information when looking for
rural addresses with this system, it may or may not match at all.
For example: A rural parcel on 563 AV is listed in the phonebook as "Good
Thunder". For most efficient searching, disregard Good Thunder and click on
"Lyra Township" instead. (To find the township your property is located in,
use our handy Township map.)
HOW DO I FIND AG PROPERTY
THAT DOESN'T HAVE A STREET ADDRESS?:
Agricultural property without a
house does not have a street address. You must search for these parcels by
parcel number, not by address. Parcel number can be found on your property tax
statement, your "Notice of Your Property's Market Value and Property
Class", or other legal documents.
WHY ISN'T THERE A CITY
BUTTON FOR THIS TOWN?:
You may be searching for a parcel in a
townsite (unincorporated city.) Townsites are not true incorporated cities, and
their property tax addresses use the township in which they are located.
Enter the address, then click on the appropriate township button for most
efficient searching.
What townsites are unincorporated?
Beauford
Cambria
Garden City
Judson
LeHillier
South Bend
Rapidan
Smith's Mill
