Bill > SF2704

This bill authorizes Sibley County to sell a specific tax-forfeited parcel of land bordering High Island Lake through a private sale, despite existing state laws that typically require public sales of such lands. The bill provides a precise legal description of the 0.35-acre parcel located in Section 27, Township 114 North, Range 28 West, which is part of Government Lot 3. The county has determined that selling this land to private ownership would best serve its land management interests. The sale must follow most provisions of Minnesota Statutes chapter 282, and the conveyance must be approved by the attorney general, who is also authorized to make any necessary corrections to the land description to ensure accuracy. By creating this specific exception to standard tax-forfeited land sale procedures, the bill allows Sibley County to dispose of this particular waterfront property in a way that meets its local land management objectives.
