CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 02/24/2015 By: Jo Thieling, Administrative Services 4. 2. Title: Consider Acquisition of Tax Forfeit Properties Information Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to ask Council to consider acquiring a tax forfeit parcel for public purpose and to approve tax forfeit classification of three other parcels. Background: The City has received notification from Anoka County Property Records and Taxation of four (4) parcels in tax forfeit. State Statutes requires that the governing body of a municipality must approve the classification and sale of forfeit parcels that lie within their jurisdiction. The City is also offered the first right to acquire the tax forfeit properties.
