Tyler Property Forfeiture Settlement
Hennepin County · Minnesota property tax forfeiture · Closed
About this case
The class action concerned Minnesota property forfeiture practices in which homes were allegedly seized and sold for more than the owners owed in taxes, with the surplus retained by the government. Minnesota lawmakers allocated $109 million for a settlement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Tyler v. Hennepin County that the practice violated constitutional rights; the settlement claims deadline has passed, and remaining funds are being redirected to housing assistance.
