This bill authorizes Aitkin County to conduct a private sale of specific tax-forfeited land, deviating from the public sale requirements outlined in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 282. The land in question is a small parcel measuring 0.1 acres, specifically described as the West 20 feet of the East 932 feet of the South 208 feet of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter in Section 32, Township 46 North, Range 25 West. The bill stipulates that the conveyance of the land must be approved by the attorney general, who is also permitted to make necessary corrections to the land description.
Additionally, the bill emphasizes that the county has assessed its land management interests and concluded that returning this land to private ownership would be the most beneficial course of action. This legislative change aims to streamline the process for Aitkin County to manage its tax-forfeited properties more effectively.
