Clay County Tax Forfeit Property Tax Forfeit Property Available
Each fall, the Clay County Auditor's office holds an auction sale to dispose of Clay County properties forfeited to the State for non-payment of taxes. These properties forfeit after 5 years of non-payment (3 years for businesses) of taxes. On the day of the auction, properties are sold to the highest bidder “As Is”. The buyer should understand that the properties might not conform to local building and zoning ordinances, and that environmental and/or watershed/water conservation issues may affect the property. It is recommended that you research any parcel you wish to purchase before buying and consider contacting your attorney for specific legal questions. The price of the properties is the appraised value and not negotiable. Special Assessments The special assessments on each property are subject to re-certification. These assessments may be re-certified by the city or other taxing jurisdiction upon the sale of the property and will be the responsibility of the new owner. Improvements not yet assessed are the responsibility of the purchaser. Payment Terms and Additional Fees We accept cash, checks, money orders and certified checks.
Title The purchaser will complete a request for State Deed at the time of purchase. This will be sent to the State of Minnesota Dept. of Revenue and a State Deed will be returned to us for recording. This conveyance shall have the force and effect of a patent from the State. However, services of an attorney may be necessary to make the title marketable. The State of Minnesota reserves all mineral rights.
