Board classifies small Motley parcel as non-conservation to allow public sale

Morrison County Board of Commissioners · August 26, 2026

Summary

At a public hearing with no in-person or written comments, the board classified a tax-forfeited one-rod parcel in Motley as non-conservation so it can be offered at public sale; Auditor-Treasurer staff will return with pricing and next steps.

Shannon from the Auditor-Treasurer's office described a single small parcel in the city of Motley that went tax-forfeit in 1954 and explained the statutory requirement to classify it as conservation or non-conservation before a public sale.

No members of the public spoke and no correspondence was received. The auditor-treasurer staff said classification as non-conservation is required for sale; if the board wished to preserve the parcel for a public purpose it would be classified as conservation. Commissioner LeMaire moved to classify the parcel as non-conservation so the Auditor-Treasurer may proceed with a public sale process; Commissioner Moran seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.

Auditor-Treasurer staff said they will work with the City of Motley on withholding options and will return with suggested pricing and details at a future planning meeting.
