An ordinary private home mortgage in North Dakota generally goes through a court case and a Sheriff's public sale; a mortgage held by the state or a state agency can follow a different process. That lender case is not the same as checking a Cass County property-tax balance. If you have court papers, use the case number to check the live court record and ask about the notice and sale status.

North Dakota has no state, county, or city mortgage, sales, or transfer tax on a real-property transfer. The deed still needs a statement of the full price or a legal exemption. The buyer or buyer's agent certifies that statement on the deed, and the County Recorder cannot record the deed without it. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
