How foreclosure and tax sales work in Minnesota
General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.
Minnesota mostly uses nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage, and the property is sold by the county sheriff (foreclosure by advertisement).
Minnesota is generally a tax deed state: after taxes go unpaid long enough, the county (tax-forfeited land sales) sells the property itself at auction.
