Property Highlights

The City took title to the 6-story, former Wahkonsa Hotel Annex building in July 2016, through an involuntary, abandonment proceeding taking in Iowa District Court. Former Use: The 6-story former hotel was built in 1917-1919, and functioned as a hotel until 1972; after that it had miscellaneous business and non-profit uses, but had sat empty and abandoned for more than 8 years under the ownership of an out-of-state owner that was unresponsive for payment of taxes and property maintenance. The City of Fort Dodge took title as an 'involuntary taking' through a legal, abandonment clause in Iowa Code, requiring the Iowa District Court to assign title to the City in 2016.
