Tax Forfeited Property
Tax-forfeited parcels are properties on which delinquent property taxes were not paid. Title to the land and buildings was forfeited and title is now vested in the State of Minnesota. Following a review period per Minnesota Statutes, these properties are classified and open to the public for purchase.
All property is sold "as is" and may not conform to local building and zoning ordinances. The county makes no warranty that the land is "buildable". All sales are final, and no refunds or exchanges are permitted. Sale appraisal price and purchase price of land does NOT reflect the taxable market value of the property.
Olmsted County highly recommends that you thoroughly research any tax-forfeited parcels before purchase.
