Welcome to Minnesota Power's Shoreland Community
Enjoying a cabin or lake home is a longstanding tradition in Minnesota.
We work with leaseholders to help them manage their leases, ensuring that the land and water are protected today and for future generations. Our ShoreLand newsletter is one way we keep the lines of communication open between our office and the leaseholder community.
About Your Lease
Rent and taxes
Lease lot rent is 2.5 percent of the county assessed market value of the land only.
Minnesota Power bills leaseholders for property taxes twice a year, in April and September.
County Specific Information
Minnesota Power is making some changes regarding the delivery of county tax statements. Starting in 2017, St. Louis County will mail all tax-related documentation regarding the lease lot directly to the mailing address we have on file. All of these notices are for informational purposes only; please do not pay St. Louis County. If you have questions regarding these notices or the valuations, contact your county assessor.
Minnesota Power does not keep copies of this information, so please keep your tax statements. You also can find tax information on county websites.
Transfer/Sell
At Minnesota Power's discretion, you may transfer your lease. If you are selling, please make sure your real estate agent is aware that your lot is a leased lot and to contact MP ShoreLand immediately after a purchase agreement is signed. Please contact our office to initiate this process.
