Common situations in Ramsey County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
A St. Paul owner's estate goes through the Ramsey County District Court, which can appoint a personal representative to handle the sale of the house.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
When a St. Paul home is foreclosed by advertisement, the Ramsey County Sheriff conducts the sale, and the owner keeps a redemption period afterward to pay off or sell. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Ramsey County bills and collects property taxes; delinquent taxes that are not paid during the redemption period can end with the house forfeiting to the state.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The city's Department of Safety and Inspections handles code complaints and vacant buildings, and St. Paul rentals need a fire certificate of occupancy.

Selling for cash in St. Paul: questions
My St. Paul duplex needs a fire certificate of occupancy inspection I can't pass. Can I sell it anyway?
Yes. A cash buyer can buy the duplex with the open inspection items and handle the repairs after closing. Give the buyer the latest inspection letter so the offer reflects what the city is asking for.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in St. Paul?
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 Ramsey 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.
