Private sales of certain land in St. Louis County authorization
This bill authorizes St. Louis County, Minnesota, to sell specific parcels of land through private sales instead of the usual public auction process. The legislation permits the county to sell tax-forfeited land and fee-owned land in designated areas to resolve issues like structure encroachments and to better serve county land management interests. The sale must follow a deed form approved by the state attorney general, who can also correct any errors in the land descriptions. This change allows the county to transfer ownership of two distinct property groups in St. Louis County without competitive bidding requirements.
