Bill > HF2524

This bill authorizes Sibley County to sell a specific piece of tax-forfeited land bordering public water (High Island Lake) through a private sale, despite existing state laws that typically require public sales of such land. The bill provides a precise legal description of the 0.35-acre parcel located in Section 27 of Township 114 North, Range 28 West, which is currently owned by the county. The county has determined that selling this land to a private owner would best serve its land management interests. The sale must be approved by the attorney general, who can make minor changes to the land description to ensure accuracy. By creating this specific authorization, the bill allows an exception to standard procedures for selling tax-forfeited land, particularly for parcels bordering public water, giving Sibley County flexibility in managing its land assets.
