Auditor/Treasurer: tax‑forfeiture auctions moving online; County has 10 properties to list
Summary
Auditor/Treasurer Carolyn Rempel told the board counties are shifting to online auctions (Public Surplus or Minbid); Cottonwood County must auction tax‑forfeiture properties within six months of vacate date and has 10 such properties to be listed.
Auditor/Treasurer Carolyn Rempel told the board that changes in the tax forfeiture process are leading most counties to use online auction platforms such as Public Surplus or Minbid. She noted that tax‑forfeiture properties must be put up for auction within six months of the vacate date (July 1 this year) and that auctions must be advertised at least 30 days prior to the sale. Rempel said Cottonwood County currently has 10 tax forfeiture properties to be auctioned.
Rempel also noted a recent change to sample-ballot notice requirements: counties are no longer required to advertise sample ballots in the newspaper; voters can view sample ballots on the Minnesota Secretary of State website.
