Aden from Ramsey County BACKGROUND On August 1, 2015, a property owned by Anthony A. Aden, located at 2690 Oxford St., Unit 224 was forfeited to Ramsey County for failure to pay property taxes. Mr. Aden is now planning to repurchase the property back from Ramsey County. Ramsey County's process for repurchasing of tax-forfeited properties is to have the municipality where the property is located review the request and document whether the property has excessive police calls, building and health code violations, or other illegal activities within the past five years. The County asks that the municipality recommend by resolution that the County Board approve or deny the repurchase application. City staff has reviewed the code enforcement files and police calls and have found that there has not been any police or code enforcement activity in the past five years. The property is a condomuminum unit in the Parkview Terrace Condominium development. POLICY OBJECTIVE Allowing for the repurchase to occur will return the properties to the tax roll and allow for the lots to be developed as housing. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS As part of the the repurchase process, the City will receive payment for the back taxes that have not been paid to date. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the resolution recomneding the Ramsey County Board approve the repurchase application of Mr. Anthony Aden for 2690 Oxford St., Unit 224.
