When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your liens are paid off from the sale at closing.
The creditor or tax office confirms its current balance and payoff instructions. A title company checks ownership and recorded claims so the closing statement can show the sale, payoffs, taxes, costs, and what remains for you.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay. The current payoff records determine the amounts used in the sale.
A tax bill or notice, lien or court paper, creditor name, parcel or case number, mortgage statement, and any payoff letter can help identify the right account. You can call before you have all of these. The current amount and instructions come from the creditor or county office that holds the record.

The St. Cloud market includes Benton, Sherburne, and Stearns Counties. Check the parcel's county before looking up a recorded lien or tax balance; a St. Cloud mailing address alone does not tell you which county record to use.
Use the Recorder's Office for Benton County recorded land documents, including deeds and recorded lien records. For a Benton County property-tax statement or payment, use the county's Property Tax Statements & Payments page.
Use the Recorder for recorded land documents tied to a Sherburne County parcel. For a current tax balance or tax-sale notice, contact the office named on the county tax bill or notice.
Use Recording Services for recorded land documents tied to a Stearns County parcel. For a current tax balance or tax-sale notice, contact the office named on the county tax bill or notice.
A property-tax delinquency or tax-sale notice is not a mortgage-foreclosure notice. Follow the current dates on the document and ask the county office named on a tax notice about its balance and status. Minnesota mortgage-foreclosure sales are sheriff's sales; check the current lender, court, or sheriff notice for the status of that separate process.
Minnesota Statutes §580.06: sheriff conducts the mortgage-foreclosure sale →
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; the St. Cloud market's Benton, Sherburne, and Stearns Counties are not those counties. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the tax. The closing professional confirms the property's county and taxable amount.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Minnesota deed tax and applicable Hennepin or Ramsey County Environmental Response Fund tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from this closing-cost promise.
