Pursuant to HUD rules and regula-

tions, these properties are being of-

fered for use under two options

restriction in perpetuity for use of the

property prohibiting any permanent

be a requirement that any other type

of improvement to the site will re-

quire approval of the City’s Flood

Plain Manager (examples of accept-

able uses are lawns, landscaping,

gardens) or

2. Low/Moderate Income (LMI) Na-

tional Objective which means there

sistent with Minot’s rules and ordi-

cupancy below a price cap set by

HUD and North Dakota at the time

the house is built (cap periodically

changes) with the most recent cap

$294,600.

Land is being offered “as is” condi-

tion as part of this auction. Assess-

ment of the land for property tax and

any related purpose once ownership

is conveyed to the successful bidder

will be based on standards set by

the City Assessor based on use of

the land and/or any improvements

which are authorized.

Each bidder must identify which op-

tion is being chosen for property use

if acquired. Each bidder, by submit-

ting a price and identifying which

use, is agreeing to all terms, condi-

tions, and limits for the use of the

land that has been identified.

If Option 2 is chosen, the bidder is

agreeing to follow jurisdictional ordi-

nances and zoning codes. Bidder

also agrees to commence construc-

tion within one year of receiving title

and complete construction for occu-

pancy within 18 months of receipt of

title. The bidder can be a LMI quali-

fied Minot resident and construct the

house for his or her occupancy.
