Zoning

Properties sold by the Wright County are subject to local zoning ordinances. Please contact your local zoning administrator to obtain copies of these ordinances.

Assessments

Any assessments against the property for public improvements after the property forfeited to the state shall be assessed against the property and paid for at the time of purchase, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, 282.01, Subd. 3. Any municipality or other public authority is authorized to make a reassessment or a new assessment to a parcel in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid original assessment at the time of forfeiture (Minnesota Stat. 429.071, Subd. 4 and 435.23).

Restrictive Covenants

Wetlands

Wright County has not performed any wetland delineation on parcels offered for sale, unless otherwise noted. No refunds will be made due to presence of wetlands.

Radon

The Minnesota Department of Health strongly recommends that ALL homebuyers have an indoor radon test performed prior to purchase or taking occupancy, and recommends having the radon levels mitigated if elevated concentrations are found. Every buyer of an interest in residential real property is notified that the property may present exposure to dangerous levels of indoor radon gas that may place the occupants at risk of developing radon induced lung cancer. Radon, a Class A human carcinogen, is the leading cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers and the second leading cause overall. The seller of any interest in residential real property is required to provide the buyer with any information on radon test results of the dwelling. Wright County has not performed nor is aware of any radon testing on parcels offered for sale, unless otherwise noted. The county will provide a copy of the Minnesota Department of Healths Radon in Real Estate Transactions publication to any purchaser of residential tax forfeited property.
