Common situations in Hennepin County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Minnesota probate runs through the district court, and Minneapolis estates are opened in the Hennepin County District Court, which gives the personal representative authority to sell.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Hennepin County foreclosures are usually done by advertisement and finish at a sale held by the Hennepin County Sheriff, followed by a redemption period in which the owner can still sell. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Hennepin County collects property taxes, and a house left unpaid long enough can forfeit to the state after the redemption period runs out.

Selling for cash in Minneapolis: questions
My Minneapolis house is on the city's vacant building registration. Can I sell it?
Yes. A cash buyer can buy a registered vacant house and take on getting it back into use. Tell the buyer about the registration and any open orders or fees so they are settled or priced in at closing.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Minneapolis?
Minnesota sales close through a title company, which pays the mortgage, property taxes and liens from the sale proceeds. Once you accept an offer, most Hennepin County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
