If the real property is not redeemed, it then becomes tax-forfeited land (Sec. 281.23). The county auditor shall then offer the parcels of land in order in which they appear in the notice of sale, and shall sell them to the highest bidder, but not for a sum less than the appraised value, until all of the parcels of land have been offered. (Sec. 282.01 Subd. 7.).

Law: Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 279 "Delinquent Real Estate Taxes", Chapter 280 "Real Estate Tax Judgment Sales," Chapter 281 "Real Estate Tax Sales, Redemption," and Chapter 282 "Tax-Forfeited Land Sales."
