Tax Forfeited Land Sales
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 to 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. We highly recommend that you thoroughly research any tax forfeited parcels before purchase. Information on upcoming tax forfeiture sales as well as the terms and conditions of the sale will be posted on our web site when available.
In addition, a notice of the public sale of tax forfeited land will be published in the Chisago County Press and the ECM-Post Review approximately 20 days prior to the sale for 2 consecutive weeks.
