How this North Dakota sale works
North Dakota eliminated private lien sales in 1999. The county auditor forecloses the tax lien, a tax deed issues to the county, and the county then sells the land at its annual sale — held on the third Tuesday in November at the county auditor's office — at or above a county-set minimum price. There is no interest return, no private foreclosure path, and no redemption after the county's sale.
Before Tuesday: how to work this list
Start from the full list on the Williams County page linked below and work it down to a bid list before sale day: screen for the areas and property types you actually buy, verify each finalist against county records, and confirm registration, deposit and payment rules with the county tax sale office well before November 17. The sale is in 13 days; the buyers who win it are the ones who did the sorting in advance, not the ones scrolling on sale day.

Questions
Is the published minimum bid the price of the property?
No. The minimum bid is the floor the county published — taxes, interest, penalties and costs rolled into one figure. Competitive bidding decides the final price, and the minimum says nothing about the property's market value.
Can the former owner get the property back after a North Dakota county sale?
There is no redemption after the county's sale. Before the sale, the former owner (or certain family members) may repurchase while the tax title remains in the county.
