Judge OKs $109 million settlement in Minnesota property forfeiture case

A settlement (the “Settlement”) has been proposed in the class action lawsuit called Tyler v. Hennepin County (62-CV-19-6012) pending in the Ramsey County District Court, Second Judicial District of Minnesota. The lawsuit alleges that the State and all Minnesota Counties violated the constitutional rights of property owners by failing to pay them the value of their tax-forfeited properties in excess of the unpaid property taxes and related fees and costs. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that this violated the Constitution but did not address defenses that might be asserted by the State or Counties. The Court has not decided who is right with respect to those defenses. Both sides have agreed to settle the lawsuits to provide money to property owners now and avoid expensive, uncertain and time-consuming litigation.
You may be a Settlement Class Member entitled to money from the Settlement if you owned or held an interest in property that was forfeited in Minnesota for non-payment of taxes during the following time periods:
- Properties in Hennepin County forfeited between August 16, 2012 – December 31, 2023.
- Properties in St. Louis County forfeited between June 2, 2016 – December 31, 2023.
- Properties in all other Minnesota counties forfeited between June 23, 2016 – December 31, 2023.
