Enclosed you should find the following: A. Resolution #:2008~107 dated August 26,2008, classifying certain forfeit lands in Anoka County. B. A classification and sale approval form listing the lands classified in Resolution #:2008~107 that lie within your jurisdiction, which is to be signedr sealed and returned to the cQunty along with a copv of the motion or resolution of ;tour governing body a9~rovin~ t~e clas~ification and sale. C;. A form for the forfeit parcels shown on the list of forfeit lands in your jurisdiction to help us analyze and appraise the parcel. We ask that you complete and return these forms to us. D. A verification of special assessments form that is to be completed, signed, sealed and returned to the county. Chapter 282.01, Subdivision 1, of the Minnesota Statutes requires that the town board or governing body of a municipality must approve the classification and sale of forfeit parcels that lie within their jurisdiction. If disapproval of any parcel is not made within 60 days from the date of this letter, it is deemed that the town board or governing body has approved the classification and sale. If the town board or governing body desires to acquire any parcel lying within the boundaries of the municipality, it shall, within 60 days of the request for classification and sale approval, file a written application with the county board to withhold the parcel from sale. The county board will then withhold the parcel from sale for six months. If the town board or governing body fails to acquire the property within the withholding period, the county may offer it for sale, upon expiration of the withholding period. A municipality or township will have to pay maintenance costs incurred by the county (if any) during the six months the property is withheld from public sale, and if the parcel is not offered for public sale after the six month period. All parcels on the list are still within the repurchase period. If you desire to acquire any parcels still within the repurchase period, you can file an application which can be acted upon at the appropriate time, assuming the county board does not allow repurchase of the parcel. 14 Affirmative Action I Equal Opportunity Employer
