Court ruling may affect tax-forfeited forest land in Minnesota

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Hunting, Minnesota, National Hunting, National News, News /

The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on May 25 in the Tyler vs. Hennepin County case eliminated some provisions of Minnesota’s property tax forfeiture law. Supreme Court justices ruled unanimously that the case violated the takings clause in the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The reversal in the case concerns the Minnesota Forest Resources Council because it could affect 2.8 million acres of previously forfeited forest lands managed under county governments across the state.

That’s a far cry from the initial penalty of a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500, plus court costs.
