Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 207-17-083.

Background Information

On July 28, 2005, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 207-17-083 to the State of Arizona c/o Board of Supervisors because the previous owner did not pay taxes on the subject property for 7 consecutive years. This parcel did not sell at the December 13, 2005 Board of Supervisors' auction; therefore, it was added to a list of properties that can be purchased year-round through the Clerk of the Board.

This property is a hillside located on the corner of Moore Street and Surmont Street in Globe. The total lien amount on this parcel is $3,705.01.

Evaluation

On October 12, 2020, Glenn Kahler and Barbara Jenkins, husband and wife, submitted a sealed bid to the Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling them parcel number 207-17-083. At that time, they also provided proof of adjoining ownership, which is a requirement of the sealed bid process. Mr. Kahler and Mrs. Jenkins own adjoining parcel number 207-17-082C.

If the Board accepts Mr. Kahler's and Mrs. Jenkins' bid, they plan to request that the Assessor combine the two parcels. This will be advantageous to the County because it will reduce the number of notices sent out by the Assessor's Office each year.

Gila County Resolution No. 15-05-05 states, "WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors may waive the requirement to sell the property for no less than the total lien amount if a condition warrants selling a parcel at a lesser price."

Conclusion

It would be advantageous for the Board of Supervisors to consider a bid that is less than the lien amount; whereby, if this property is sold, it will go back on the County's tax rolls.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider the bid for the purchase of the aforementioned parcel.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to consider a sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's tax parcel number 207-17-083 and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Marian Sheppard)
