Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 101-07-185A.

Background Information

On August 21, 2006, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 101-07-185A 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 5, 2006 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 off of Hillside Drive in Hayden. The total lien amount on this parcel is $2,811.60.

Evaluation

On October 20, 2020, Corey Lee Busboom submitted a sealed bid to the Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling him parcel number 101-07-185A. At that time he also provided proof of adjoining ownership, which is a requirement of the sealed bid process. Mr. Busboom owns adjoining parcel number 101-07-188 and 101-07-187.

He intends on cleaning up the property and using it as a rental property and parking. His objective is to combine all three parcels to create a single parcel which will then reduce the amount for tax bills and mailings to be sent out by County staff.

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 101-07-185A and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Marian Sheppard)
