3/16/2023 10:02:00 AM CHISAGO COUNTY DELINQUENT TAX LIST
State of Minnesota County of Chisago District Court 10th Judicial District
TO: ALL PERSONS WITH A LEGAL INTEREST IN THE PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING DELINQUENT TAX LIST
A list of real property in Chisago County on which delinquent real property taxes and penalties are due has been filed with the District Court Administrator of Chisago County. This list is published to inform all persons that the listed property is subject to forfeiture because of delinquent taxes.
The property owner, taxpayer, or other interested persons must either pay the tax and penalty plus interest and costs or file a written objection with the District Court Administrator. The objection must be filed on or before the 20 th day after publication of this notice and list and must state the reason(s) why the tax or penalty is not due on the property. If no objection is filed, a court judgment will be entered against the property for the unpaid tax, penalty, interest and costs.
For property under court judgment, the period of redemption begins on May 8, 2023. The period of redemption means the time within which taxes must be paid to avoid losing the property through forfeiture. The period of redemption is three years, with a handful of exceptions. The redemption period is one year for most properties located in a targeted neighborhood, as defined in the Minnesota laws, and for municipal solid waste disposal facilities. The redemption period is five weeks for certain abandoned or vacant properties.
You may also enter into a confession of judgment as an alternative method to paying off the delinquent tax amount and avoiding forfeiture. This allows you to pay the delinquent balance in equal annual installments, with a down payment due at the time you enter into the confession. The length of the installment plan varies: five years for commercial-industrial/public utility property; 10 years for all other properties.
If you have homesteaded property, you may be eligible for a Senior Citizen's Property Tax Deferral, which enables seniors to pay just three percent of their total household income and allow remaining amounts to become a lien on the property that may be deferred for later payment (perhaps upon eventual sale of the property).
It should also be noted by property homesteaders that you are ineligible to receive the Property Tax Refund while you owe delinquent property tax.
Inquiries as to the proceedings set forth above can be made to the Chisago County Auditor/Treasurer's Office, 313 North Main Street, Room 271, Center City, Minnesota, 55012. You may also contact the Auditor-Treasurer at (651) 213-8500 or [email protected]

DELINQUENT TAX LIST
The following table contains a list of real property located in Chisago County on which taxes and penalties became delinquent on January 2, 2023. Interest calculated from January 1, 2023, and county costs must be paid along with the total tax and penalties in order for a parcel of real property to be removed from the delinquent tax list.
Individuals that own homestead property, and are in federal active military or other qualified duty service, are eligible for a four month grace period during which no late penalties will be assessed for late payment of property taxes. Qualified taxpayers appearing in the delinquent tax list that have not applied may do so by providing a signed copy of their service orders or for DD214 that proves the taxpayer was on active service on the date the payment was due. To file, determine eligibility, or for more information, contact the Chisago County Auditor-Treasurer’s Office at 651-213-8500.
