 13.19  a valuation exclusion for assessment purposes, provided all of 
 13.20  the following conditions are met: 
 13.21     (1) the building must be at least 50 years old at the time

 15.27  of government finds evidence of an imminent threat to public 
 15.28  health or safety requiring removal and abatement under section 
 15.29  145A.04, subdivision 8. 
 15.30     (e) A licensed inspector who inspects an existing system

 15.33  individual sewage treatment systems.
