Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 205-18-011.

Background Information

On May 22, 2019, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 205-18-011 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. Per the Treasurer, the property is a hillside off of S. Agave Drive between parcel No. 205-18-009A and Destiny School in Globe. The property adjoins Gila County Assessor parcel number 205-18-009A which is owned by Nathan Wearne and Cassandra Adams.

On December 3, 2019, the Board of Supervisors held its annual auction and this property did not sell; therefore, it was added to a list of properties that are available for sale year-round. The lien amount for this property is $727.91.

Evaluation

On December 4, 2019, the adjoining property owner submitted a sealed bid to the Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling the parcel for less than the lien amount.

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 the 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 tax parcel number 205-18-011.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to consider a sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's tax parcel number 205-18-011 and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Marian Sheppard)
