The county board of any county may file a list of forfeited lands with the county auditor, if the board is of the opinion that such lands may be acquired by the state or any municipal subdivision of the state for public purposes. Upon the filing of the list of forfeited lands, the county auditor shall withhold said lands from repurchase. If no proceeding is started to acquire such lands by the state or some municipal subdivision of the state within one year after the filing of the list of forfeited lands, the county board shall withdraw the list and thereafter, if the property was classified as nonhomestead at the time of forfeiture, the owner shall have not more than six months in which to repurchase.
