State Ex Rel. Hendrickson v. Strom

Stone, Justice.

Relator appeals from an order quashing an alternative writ of mandamus.

March 1,1935, petitioner purchased a dwelling which immediately became and has since remained his homestead. It was not a homestead in the hands of his vendor. Its assessed value is $2,750. As non-homestead property it was assessed under class 4 as defined by L. 1933, c. 359, 3 Mason Minn. St. 1934 Supp. §§ 1993, 1993-1, at 40 per cent of its “full and true value.” As a homestead it went into class 3c under the same statute and became taxable at only 25 per cent of its full and true value.
