A mortgage foreclosure is about the mortgage debt and can lead to a sheriff’s sale. A property-tax notice concerns a separate account and balance. Do not use a mortgage notice to determine a property-tax amount, or a tax notice to determine the mortgage payoff. This page explains mortgage foreclosure; the Freeborn County Auditor-Treasurer is the local contact for County property-tax collection and tax-record questions.
In Minnesota, the sheriff conducts a mortgage foreclosure auction. If the papers say foreclosure by advertisement, the usual time to redeem after the sale is six months; shorter and longer periods apply in some cases. A court foreclosure can have a different starting point. Do not assume the sale date or redemption deadline has moved. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed for your property.
Minnesota’s rules include the sheriff’s-sale procedure, redemption periods and exceptions, redemption after a court foreclosure, and postponement of a sale, read with the 2026 changes in chapter 51, sections 1–2 and chapter 88, article 1, sections 218–219. The notice and current case record control your dates.
