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.  https://mntaxforfeituresettlement.com/

Is this happening everywhere?
