Stuck With a Hard-to-Sell House in Anoka County?
No septic certificate for a north-metro buyer's lender
Your buyer's lender asked for a septic certificate of compliance on your Andover or Ham Lake house, and the system can't pass.
Minnesota requires septic disclosure at sale, and while the county itself doesn't mandate an inspection, lenders often do, which hits the many outer-county homes on private well and septic.
We buy as-is for cash with no lender involved. Jordan prices the septic replacement into the offer, so the sale doesn't hinge on a passing certificate.

What Anoka County Sellers Should Know
How county deadlines work
Probate and courts. Probate for Anoka County is handled at the courthouse in the city of Anoka.
Foreclosure and forfeiture. The Anoka County Sheriff handles foreclosure sales, followed by the usual redemption period. Delinquent property taxes follow Minnesota's forfeiture process, with notices from the county.
Getting here. From Chanhassen we take I-494 to I-94 or Highway 10, about 40 to 50 minutes to most of the county. Walkthroughs are usually within 1 to 2 days.
Houses here, river town to rural lot
Columbia Heights and Fridley have older homes and duplexes from the 1920s to 1950s. Coon Rapids and much of Blaine are 1960s to 1980s ramblers and split-levels, where dated furnaces, roofs and windows are the usual repairs. Andover, Ham Lake and outer Blaine have larger lots, and many homes there use a private well and septic system. A septic that fails a compliance inspection can stop a financed sale. We buy as-is and handle it.

Directions to our officeQuestions Anoka County Sellers Ask Us
Do I need a septic inspection to sell in Anoka County?
The county doesn't require one at sale, but Minnesota requires you to disclose the septic system to the buyer, and most lenders ask for a certificate of compliance. On a cash sale to us there's no lender, so a failing system doesn't stop the closing.
What does the Columbia Heights time-of-sale inspection require?
Since May 22, 2024, Columbia Heights sellers apply for a Time-of-Sale inspection and have the sewer line televised. A buyer can take on immediate hazards with city approval and a cash escrow, and we can take that route on a cash purchase.
Can I keep my house in the city of Anoka as a rental instead?
Maybe not. The city limits single-family rental licenses to 10% of lots on a block, and a license can lapse when the property changes hands. Ryan will check before you plan on renting.
Where do Anoka County probate cases go?
To the courthouse in the city of Anoka, the county seat. Blaine, Coon Rapids, Fridley and Columbia Heights estates all file there.
Can I sell during the redemption period after a sheriff's sale here?
In most cases, yes. The redemption period is usually six months, and a sale can pay off the redemption amount at closing.
Still have a question?
Ask Ryan directly. He's the licensed agent who'll walk the house and write the offer.
