Renewal Of Policy Regarding Installment Plan For Repurchases Of Non-Homestead Tax-Forfeited Property
end

PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Approve renewal of the five year installment repurchase plan for non-homestead property for one year beginning the first business day of 2022.

SUMMARY
Minn. Stat. 282.241 and Minn. Stat. 282.261, subd. 1, provide that a person repurchasing a tax-forfeited parcel must pay at least one-tenth of the purchase price and shall pay the balance in nine equal annual installments.

Alternatively, Minn. Stat. 282.261, subd. 3, provides that a county board may annually resolve to require that for non-homestead property, the minimum down payment must be twenty percent of the purchase price with the balance payable in four equal annual installments. The resolution shall remain in force for one year after approval and shall be applied uniformly to all non-homestead property in the county. In previous years, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners has chosen to adopt the alternative, five year repurchase plan for non-homestead property.

RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
