The Auditor-Treasurer’s Office administers the disposition of tax-forfeited lands. These are properties that, after three years of non-payment of property taxes from the judgement year, default to State of Minnesota ownership. The Auditor-Treasurer’s Office is responsible for scheduling and conducting a public auction to sell the tax forfeited properties to return them to the tax rolls. Properties are sold “as is”.
An online auction will be scheduled to be held during the first quarter of 2026.
Please keep checking back to this website for the date and a listing of properties to be included. At the time an auction is scheduled, more information will be provided, including a “Terms of Sale” document. Auction information will also be published in the local newspapers.
