What is the DNR review process for proposed county tax-forfeited land sales?

The DNR review process for proposed county tax-forfeited land sales begins with the receipt of the county's tax-forfeited land sale review packet. Submit these packets to the Lands and Minerals Division (LAM) Regional Operations Supervisor located in one of four regions. Please see the Lands and Minerals Division Regional Operations page for a map and list of these DNR regions and the supervisor for each.

The LAM Regional Supervisor distributes the review packet to the regional and local DNR resource managers. Once the reviews have been returned, the LAM Regional Operations Supervisor compiles the results. The county will receive a letter informing them of the results of the review. Upon receipt of the complete review packet, the DNR is committed to completing our review within thirty (30) days for parcels that went into foreclosure on or before January 1, 2024, and within sixty (60) days for parcels that went into foreclosure before January 1, 2024.

For more information about this review process, contact the Regional Operations Supervisor in your region of the state.
