Bill > HF1729

This bill authorizes St. Louis County to sell two specific parcels of tax-forfeited land through a private sale, despite standard public sale requirements typically mandated by Minnesota law. The bill provides precise legal descriptions of two land parcels: one in West Duluth (a 15-foot section of Lot 5 in Block 47) and another in a specified section of Township 54, Range 20. 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 empowered to make technical corrections to the land descriptions to ensure accuracy. By allowing a private sale, this bill provides an exception to the usual procedures for disposing of tax-forfeited property, giving St. Louis County flexibility in managing its land assets.
