Private sale authorization of certain tax forfeited land
This bill (SF 1072) allows St. Louis County to sell two specific parcels of land seized for unpaid taxes directly to private buyers, bypassing standard public auction requirements. The county must determine this private sale serves its land management interests, and the sale requires approval from the attorney general to ensure accurate land descriptions. The parcels are located in West Duluth (Lot 5, Block 47) and Section 14, Township 54 (described by legal boundaries). This is a targeted authorization for these exact properties, not a broad policy change affecting other lands or counties.
