Bill > SF1072

This bill authorizes St. Louis County to conduct a private sale of two specific parcels of tax-forfeited land, which are currently owned by the county due to unpaid property taxes. The first parcel is a 15-foot strip of land in the West Duluth 6th Division, and the second is a precisely described portion of land in Section 14, Township 54, Range 20. Despite typical statutory requirements for public sales of tax-forfeited property, this bill allows St. Louis County to sell these specific parcels through a private sale mechanism. The county has determined that returning these lands to private ownership would best serve its land management interests. The conveyance of the land must be approved by the attorney general, who is also authorized to make any necessary corrections to the land descriptions to ensure accuracy. By providing this specific authorization, the bill offers a targeted approach to disposing of certain county-owned properties that may not be well-suited for public sale or continued government ownership.
