Information

Request/Subject

Board of Supervisors' 2013 Annual Property Tax Sale/Auction of properties deeded to the State of Arizona by the County Treasurer in 2013.

Background Information

Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 42-18301 through 42-18303 outlines the procedures related to the responsibilities of the County Board of Supervisors once a property has been deeded by the County Treasurer to the State of Arizona. Every year the Gila County Board of Supervisors conducts a sale/auction of all properties that have been deeded to the State by the Treasurer in the current calendar year. This sale typically takes place in November or December.

A.R.S. § 42-18303 states, "The board of supervisors may accept an offer from, and sell real property held by this state by tax deed to, the county or a city, town of special taxing district in the county for a public purpose related to transportation or flood control..." On October 22, 2013, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Clerk of the Board to remove one property from the 2013 BOS Annual Property Tax Sale/Auction list, and to collect the money and prepare the paperwork to sell that property to Gila County. Per statutory requirement, the property that was purchased by Gila County will be used for a public purpose related to transportation.

Evaluation

According to state statutes, a list of the properties held by the state by tax deed was prepared on or before the first Monday in November. The list includes a full description of each parcel; name of the former owner, if known; and the total lien amount which includes the total amount of taxes, interest, penalties, fees and costs, including the unpaid charges of the county treasurer and recorder. The list was published on the County's website on November 1, 2013, and advertised in the official newspaper of the County for two weeks prior to the sale/auction; November 6 and 13. The list was also made available to the public at the office of the Board of Supervisors on November 1st.

There are sixteen (16) properties to be sold at the auction, as follows: 101-07-014; 101-07-023; 101-07-024; 101-07-305; 101-12-188-A; 102-13-032-F; 206-06-304-A; 206-21-045-A; 207-15-245; 301-07-009-M; 302-14-021-A; 302-35-005-E' 302-60-199-A; 302-60-200-A; 302-60-205-D; and 304-03-192-A.

Conclusion

All of the applicable statutory requirements have been met with regard to these newly deeded parcels of land; therefore, it is appropriate for the Board to conduct the sale/auction.

Recommendation

The Clerk of the Board recommends that a sale/auction of all newly deeded State-owned properties be held during a regular meeting of the Board on Tuesday, November 19, 2013.

Suggested Motion

Supervisors' Annual Property Tax Sale/Auction for the sale of real property deeded to the State of Arizona by Treasurer's Deed in the year 2013.
