When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate and can affect what you keep.

For an ordinary taxable transfer with net consideration over $3,000, Minnesota deed tax is 0.33% of that amount. Hennepin and Ramsey counties each add a 0.01% Environmental Response Fund tax; Long Prairie is in Todd County, not either of those counties. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax, so the closing professional confirms the property county and taxable amount.

A sale may still be possible if the required payoff or redemption can be completed before the applicable deadline. Minnesota mortgage foreclosure auctions are sheriff's sales. In a foreclosure by advertisement, the usual redemption period is six months after the sale, but 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.

No. Long Prairie is a distinct city in Todd County, and the city and county are separate jurisdictions. An address described as being in the Long Prairie area does not by itself establish whether a particular parcel is inside city limits; check the actual property location and records.
