ACQUISITION OF TAX FORFEIT PROPERTIES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution acquiring
tax forfeit parcels.
Passage of this motion will result in the City acquiring eight tax forfeited parcels.
Overview
Periodically the Dakota County office of Property Taxation and Records notifies the City of a
list of parcels that have gone into tax forfeiture status that are available to the City for
acquisition. Minn. Stat. 282.01, Subdiv 1a, Paragraph (e) allows the City to acquire the
properties for no consideration in circumstances where the parcels would be used for storm
water management, right-of-way, greenway corridor, open space and wetland/natural area
preservation. The parcels are acquired through a conditional use deed from the State of
Minnesota.
At the November 12, 2014 work session the City Council reviewed the list provided by the
County and directed staff to acquire eight of the parcels. Staff provided the list of eight
parcels to the Dakota County office of Property Taxation and Records and they have given
their preliminary approval for the City to acquire the parcels pending final approval by the
County Board at their April 21st meeting. The cost to acquire all eight properties is $2,421.20
to cover State deed fees and County recording fees.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Where are the parcels located and what are their potential uses?
• Is there a process to turn-back the parcels to the County if the City no longer wishes to
own one or more of them in the future?

SUPPORTING INFORMATION -
• Where are the parcels located and what are their potential uses?
The following chart and the attached maps indicate the locations and potential uses for
each property -
• Is there a process to turn-back the parcels to the County if the City no longer wishes to
own one or more of the parcels in the future?
In obtaining the parcels from the County through the conditional use deed process the
City cannot sell the properties. If circumstances change in the future where the City no
longer wishes to retain a parcel or a portion of a parcel acquired through the tax
forfeiture process the ownership of the parcel must be transferred back to Dakota
County for their retention or public sale.
