Properties for Sale - Tax Forfeited
Property becomes tax-forfeited land due to unpaid delinquent property taxes.
Any tax balance not paid by January 1 of the year following when the taxes were due becomes delinquent. You have either 1 or 3 years to pay the delinquent balance owed to keep ownership. The timeframe depends on the property’s classification. If taxes aren't paid in the required timeframe, the property becomes tax-forfeited land.
Information about buying tax-forfeited land can be obtained under the listing "Terms of Sale - Tax Forfeited Properties" or stop in at the PT&E Office, Steele County Administration Center, 630 Florence Avenue, Owatonna, MN 55060 or call.
