Scott County Property Tax Records

Tax forfeited properties are parcels where the owner did not pay their property taxes. After a redemption period of about three years, the title goes to the State of Minnesota. Scott County then manages these properties and offers them at auction. You can sign up for email alerts about upcoming auctions through a Scott County account at the tax forfeited properties page. All sales are final and sold as-is with no warranty on soil, zoning, or buildability.

When taxes go unpaid, they become delinquent on January 2 of the next year. Interest runs at 8% per year and increases monthly. The county starts proceedings against first-year delinquent properties. In March, owners get a letter in the mail and their names are published in a local newspaper for two weeks. The published list includes parcel numbers, owner names, addresses, and the amount owed. If taxes are still unpaid after the redemption period, the property forfeits. Property and Taxation Services can be reached at 952-496-8115.
