The bill authorizes St. Louis 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 designated for private sale includes two parcels: the easterly 15 feet of Lot 5, Block 47, West Duluth 6th Division, and a portion of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter, with detailed descriptions provided. 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 states that the county has determined that returning these lands to private ownership aligns with its land management interests. This legislative change aims to facilitate the sale of tax-forfeited properties in a manner that is more efficient for the county.
