Following a review period <br /> per Minnesota statutes, these properties are classified and open first for sale to public entities before sale <br /> at a public auction. <br /> All property is sold"as is" and may not conform to local building and zoning ordinances. The county <br /> makes no warranty that the land is "buildable." All sales are final, and no refunds or exchanges are <br /> permitted. It is highly recommended that the property is thoroughly researched before purchasing. <br /> Sherburne County indicated that the appraised value is $30,000. <br /> On September 3,2015,a building inspection confirmed the building is structurally sound,but in a state of <br /> severe disrepair and not habitable. City services are not available to the property. A septic compliance <br /> check was completed on November 30,2015, and was found to be non-compliant. No building permits <br /> are on file with the city. Well testing on the subject property has not been completed. <br /> If the HRA decided to pursue the purchase of this property, estimates would need to be obtained to <br /> determine the cost of installing a new septic system,and remodeling the existing buildings to bring the <br /> building up to compliance with the building code. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> • Photos of the subject property <br /> • Septic Compliance Report (November 30, 2015) <br /> rillIERIA BY <br /> NATURE <br />
