How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

If property taxes go unpaid in Minnesota
How it works. Tax judgment sale to state followed by statutory redemption period and tax forfeiture; county later sells/retains tax-forfeited land under Chapter 282
Excess sale money. Current 282.005 creates a surplus-proceeds process: auction proceeds above minimum bid are available to interested parties; county must notify them within 60 days, claims generally are due within 6 months, and rights to surplus survive forfeiture. Unclaimed/invalid surplus returns to forfeited-tax-sale fund
These rules are set by Minnesota, not by Vasa, so this section is the same for every place in the state. Last verified 2026-09-25. See the full Minnesota entry with statute links.
