The following resolution was offered by
WHEREAS, numerous requests have been received for private sale or for
conveyance of tax forfeited land without monetary consideration to municipal-
ities and other governmental subdivisions of the State, and
WHEREAS, no established written policy exists on this matter,
BE IT RESOLVED, that it shall be the policy of the Hennepin County
Board of Commissioners to maximize collections of delinquent property tax
by selling tax forfeited land. Further, future tax collections should be
maximized by transferring tax forfeited land to private ownership via
public sale whenever possible, thereby returning it to the tax rolls.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that tax forfeited land will not be conveyed
to governmental subdivisions unless the current appraised value is paid;
however, application for conveyance without monetary consideration will
be considered by this Board if the land has been offered at public sale
and remains unsold for three years or more.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the acquisition of tax forfeited land by
a governmental subdivision for resale, per se, shall be deemed to be not
a public purpose, and private sale will not be authorized unless it can be
. clearly shown that resale is for a public purpose. However, Housing and
Redevelopment Authorities and other governmental subdivisions of the state
expressly authorized by law to resell, lease or transfer property are
excluded from this provision.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that an application shall be required to
request private sale, and the application shall be accompanied by a resolution
of the governing body specifying the public purpose or intended public use for
which the tax forfeited land is being acquired and the need for the land. An
application will not be considered unless received at least ten days prior to
the first publication of the notice of public sale of the subject property.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the purchase price at private sale may be
paid over a three-year period commencing on date of sale if the governmental
subdivision has budget or levy limitations that do not permit cash purchase.
Interest shall be payable at the rate prescribed by law for sales to the public.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that municipalities are requested not to withhold
approval of sale of tax forfeited land except when they indicate intent to
purchase within the period specified in Minnesota Statutes, Section 292.01.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that on a showing of unusual circumstances and
hardship the Board of Commissioners may, by specific resolution, approve
a variance to these provisions.
