Assessor

The Babbitt City Assessor is Carolyn Mackai.

The Babbitt City Assessor's work is defined by State Statute and is overseen by the St. Louis County Assessor and the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

The primary purpose of the Assessor's job is to value and classify property within the jurisdiction of Babbitt which consists of three townships.  The classifications of property within the Babbitt jurisdiction includes:  residential, vacant land, commercial, exempt, mining, and personal property leases.  The Assessor also determines what residential property meets the criteria for being classified as a homestead.

If you are a resident, but will not be living in your home on January 2, you need to fill out a temporary absence form.  These forms are available at City Hall or at the Assessor's office.  You may also find a form under the "City Forms" section on this website.

If you have a relative living at a property that you own, the property may be eligible for a homestead classification.  Please contact the Assessor, Carolyn Mackai, to see if the relative will qualify.  If so, it results in lower taxes.

The Assessor's office is located at 71 South Drive and the phone number is (218)-827-3423.
