State Auctions

Welcome to the State of Minnesota Auction Page. When the state has surplus property, the Department of Administration prepares it for sale or reuse. This website has details on upcoming state auctions, including schedules and items listings, as well as other facts and resources.

If you have questions or need assistance, please call 651-201-2779 to talk to a staff person. More contact information is available on the Contact Us page.
