Title

APPROVAL OF CLASSIFICATION AND SALE OF TAX FORFEIT PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF BLAINE

 

Background

The Anoka County Board is commissioned by Statute to offer for sale tax forfeit properties in the County.  The County Board approved Resolution No. 2020-139 on December 15, 2020, classifying certain tax forfeit lands in Anoka County, specifically one parcel in Blaine: 

 

Outlot A, Luckows Pine View, 24-31-23-14-0104.

 

Should the City desire to acquire this parcel, a request would be filed within 60 days of the County’s notification.  The County Board would then withhold the parcel from sale for six months.  If the City failed to acquire the property within the withholding period, the County could offer if for sale upon expiration of the withholding period.

 

After review with the Engineering Department, the City has determined this is not a parcel the City would have interest in purchasing.  A property search has been conducted and no special assessments were found.  If approved a copy of the resolution will be forwarded to Anoka County for filing. 

 

Recommendation

By motion, authorize approval of the classification of the above tax forfeit properties pursuant to M.S. §282.01, Subd. 1.
