If real estate taxes are left unpaid for a period of 3 to 6 years

(depending on classification), the property is subject to forfeiture to the State of Minnesota.

Cook County sees very few tax forfeited properties. The last sale was in 2005, and prior to that sales happened in 1988, 1991, 1993, 1997, and 1998. We do not expect to have sales with any regularity.
