Please contact the Pine County Land Department at 320-216-4225 if you have questions after viewing the following information.

All tracts are sold "as-is" and must be purchased at or above the appraised value. 

Potential buyers can purchase their tract(s) via contract for deed or payment in full.  See more details below.

Potential buyers are encouraged to thoroughly research properties and check with local planning and zoning authorities.

Information on searching land records (Landshark) can be found on the Pine County Recorder Office website.

Parcels can also be searched for on the Pine County Beacon website.

Official plats with lot dimensions and other details can be found here, and may have useful information on some of the tracts below.

Potential buyers have the option of sending a mail-in bid form shown below instead of attending the public auction.  However, we recommend attending the public auction due to the fact that the highest mail-in bid at or above the appraised value would become the starting bid at the public auction, and can be outbid at the public auction.

Check or cash are acceptable forms of payment.  Winning bidders must pay required minimum payment immediately following the auction.  The minimum required payment for each tract will vary depending on bid amount and other details that can be found on the Winning Bid and Over-The-Counter Land Purchase form.  For a check payment, two (2) checks are needed as shown on said form.

Land auction terms and conditions, purchase calculation forms, and other additional information are outlined below.

The September 15, 2023 Tax Forfeited Land Auction is over.  The remaining unsold tracts are available for immediate purchase at the appraised value (on a first come first served basis) with easy payment and contract terms.

To purchase a remaining unsold tract, please contact the Auditor's Office at 320-591-1666.  The Auditor's Office is located in the Pine County Courthouse in Pine City, MN.

Landlocked Property Info:
Landlocked parcels do not have legal access.  For those interested in landlocked parcels you are encouraged to contact and arrange access with adjacent land owners.  If cooperative access cannot be obtained, please be aware that Minnesota State Statute 164.08 offers specific direction on gaining access through cartway law.  All cartway proceedings are unique to the situation.  Be aware that typical cartway process may involve legal expenses, purchase of the cartway and/or other fees paid to the land owner, survey costs, construction costs, etc.

The local township is actively involved in the cartway process.
