Back property taxes in Bloomington? Minnesota can sell your home for unpaid taxes after 24 months of delinquency. We buy houses with tax liens — pay the taxes at closing, give you the difference in cash, save your credit.
Falling behind on property taxes in Bloomington, Minnesota can spiral fast. Minnesota counties begin tax sale proceedings after a fixed period of property tax delinquency.

You walk away free of the tax burden with cash in hand.
Tax-lien sale investor activity in Hennepin County varies year to year. Minnesota Bloomington markets with high investor activity see liens auctioned quickly; less active markets see slow auctions or no buyer interest. The seller's leverage depends on this market state.
Tax escrow shortages built into mortgage payments occasionally surface only after Minnesota county reassessment. Bloomington homeowners discover their monthly payment is rising $200-$500/month based on the escrow analysis. Many discover affordability issues at this point.
Mortgage company tax-payment failures occasionally cause property-tax delinquency on properties whose owners assume taxes are paid via escrow. Minnesota servicer errors create Hennepin County delinquencies; the homeowner is technically responsible for verification. Bloomington homeowners discovering escrow failures can usually resolve, but the process takes time.
Investor purchasers at Hennepin County tax sales typically pay only the back taxes plus fees, leaving any residual property value as profit when the redemption period expires. Bloomington homeowners who let this happen lose their entire equity. Selling to BuyHousesInCash before the sale captures that equity for the seller, even if only at 60-75% of after-repair value.
Tax delinquency volume in Hennepin County, MN reflects the broader Minnesota economic environment. A Bloomington metro of 89,987 produces a steady flow of 24-month tax-delinquency-eligible properties. Tax sales clear inventory; BuyHousesInCash acquisitions divert properties before that step.

Call (555) 555-CASHMinnesota can typically begin tax sale proceedings after 24 months of delinquency. The county or municipality issues a tax certificate to investors, and after a redemption period, the property can be sold at auction. BuyHousesInCash can typically close before tax sale in Bloomington as long as you contact us before the auction date is finalized.
No. BuyHousesInCash pays all delinquent property taxes, penalties, and interest from the sale proceeds at closing. The title company in Minnesota disburses funds to the county tax collector, clears the lien, and the remaining cash goes to you. You write zero checks. This is one of the biggest reasons homeowners with Bloomington tax delinquency choose us.
Even after a tax certificate is sold to an investor, Minnesota provides a redemption period during which you can pay off the certificate plus interest and reclaim your property. BuyHousesInCash can buy your home and redeem the certificate at closing during this window. Don't wait until the redemption period expires — call us as soon as possible.
Yes. Federal IRS tax liens against you personally do attach to Bloomington real estate. The IRS has procedures (Form 14135) to discharge a property from the lien at closing in exchange for paying the lien amount or a portion. BuyHousesInCash works with title companies experienced in IRS lien discharges. Minnesota state tax liens follow similar processes.
The math has to work — sale proceeds need to cover the back taxes plus our offer price. If you have $50,000 in back taxes on a $200,000 Bloomington home, we have plenty of room. If back taxes are $180,000 on a $200,000 home, the offer becomes minimal. We'll run the numbers transparently and tell you what you'd net before any commitment.
Common scenario. Both get paid off at closing from sale proceeds. The title company disburses to the lender (mortgage payoff) and the Minnesota tax collector (delinquent taxes), then any remaining equity goes to you. We handle multi-creditor closings in Bloomington regularly — it adds about 3-5 days to closing time but isn't a deal-breaker.
Most Minnesota counties will postpone or cancel a scheduled tax sale once they receive proof of a pending sale to a buyer who will pay off the delinquent taxes. BuyHousesInCash' title company submits the contract and proof of funds directly to the Bloomington tax office to halt the sale. We've stopped tax auctions with as little as 5 days notice.
Selling to BuyHousesInCash doesn't directly impact credit. The negative items — late mortgage payments, judgments, the tax lien itself — already affect your credit. Selling clears those liens, which over time helps your credit recover. Compare to a tax sale: losing the home plus continued lien on credit report. The voluntary sale is almost always the better credit outcome.
Generally no, beyond standard capital gains rules. Minnesota treats the tax-payoff at closing as part of the sale settlement. Hennepin County tax professionals can confirm specifics for your situation.

Tax liens in Minnesota are mostly senior to mortgage liens, which means a tax sale can extinguish the mortgage entirely. Bloomington homeowners who fall behind on property taxes while current on their mortgage occasionally discover their lender paid the taxes and added them to the loan balance — at a punitive rate. Either path destroys equity; selling clears both at closing.
Bankruptcy can pause a Minnesota tax sale via the automatic stay, but only briefly. Property taxes are typically priority unsecured debt in Chapter 13 and survive Chapter 7 discharge entirely. Bloomington homeowners hoping bankruptcy will solve tax arrears usually discover it postpones rather than eliminates the problem.
Tax-sale investor purchases in Hennepin County create a parallel ownership claim until redemption expires. The Bloomington homeowner may still occupy but the investor's claim grows with statutory interest (often 12-18% annually). The math becomes punitive quickly.
Minnesota property tax bills compound their consequences. The original tax becomes delinquent, then penalty interest, then collection fees, then attorney costs once the county initiates legal proceedings. A Bloomington homeowner who fell $4,000 behind two years ago typically owes $7,000-$9,000 by the time the tax sale is calendared. Cash sale proceeds pay it all at closing.
