County tax-forfeited land sale review packet

How does a county submit to the DNR parcels requiring review?

Parcels required by Minnesota Statute to be reviewed by the DNR:

If the County has made the determination that a review is required, the DNR requests that the County email the review packet with the following information:

1. A cover letter from the County outlining the review request.
2. A list of each tax-forfeited parcel being submitted for review, including the following for each parcel: the county parcel ID number, acreage, and complete legal description (including lot, block, and subdivision name (if a platted lot); and the government lot number/quarter-quarter, and section, township, range).
3. For each tax-forfeited parcel being submitted for review, list the date of forfeiture and the specific statutory criteria that requires DNR review. See summary of statutory authority granted to DNR for the review of proposed land sales
4. Plat/subdivision map (if applicable) and aerial map identifying the location of each parcel

Please send the completed tax-forfeited land sale review packet by email to the Lands and Minerals Regional Operations Supervisor in your area.
