Dunn County approves conveyance of in-rem water parcel to Menomonie, 4-1
Summary
The committee voted 4–1 to convey an in‑rem water parcel (a pond) to the City of Menomonie for no purchase price; the city will pay a $30 recording fee. Staff and counsel said the parcel has low development potential and prior tax arrears are effectively uncollectible.
The committee voted to convey a county‑owned in‑rem parcel (a pond/water feature off Lake Menomin in the City of Menomonie) to the city for no purchase price, with the city paying a $30 recording fee. County counsel and staff explained the parcel was obtained through in‑rem foreclosure and that prior taxes dating back several years were effectively uncollectible; the parcel had been reassessed in 2021, lowering the annual tax assigned to that parcel to about $325.
Counsel said the conveyance would not put the parcel back on the tax roll and that the county's alternatives (auction or maintaining ownership) offered limited practical benefit. After discussion and a motion to approve the conveyance with the recording fee, the committee voted 4–1 to accept the recommendation. The chair said staff will proceed with the conveyance paperwork.
