Following a review period per Minnesota Statutes, these properties are classified and open to the public to purchase. Dakota County conducts one Public Auction and one Private Auction each year. The Private Auction is open only to adjacent property owners because it has been determined that the forfeited property is non-buildable. Any properties that have not been sold at either the Public Sale or Private Sale are available for purchase by any interested party.
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 about Minnesota laws regarding delinquent taxes and tax forfeiture is available for your review at a Dakota County Public Library.
