A Minnesota county sold a woman's condo for $40,000 over a $15,000 tax debt and kept the rest; what did the US Supreme Court say?

Notably, the original tax bill was around $2,300. But, after interest and penalties, the debt was increased to around $15,000. Hennepin County sold the property for $40,000 and kept the money left after settling Tyler's tax debt, according to the US Supreme Court. The dispute was mostly about whether the county could keep more than Tyler owed.
