Explanation
Tax forfeiture in Minnesota is the process by which the state takes title to real property when the owner fails to pay real estate taxes. After a period of delinquency, the county auditor issues a notice, and if taxes are not paid, the land is 'forfeited' to the state. The previous owner loses all interest in the property.
