Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 207-20-023C.

Background Information

On July 31, 2019, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 207-20-023C 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, this property is a hillside off of W. Banker Avenue and E. Euclid Avenue. The property adjoins Gila County Assessor parcel number 207-20-037C which is owned by Adam Powers. Mr. Powers' property contains a road that accesses the subject property.

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 $1,371.20. Mr. Powers has submitted a bid less than the lien amount for the Board of Supervisors' consideration. If the Board accepts Mr. Powers' bid, he intends to combine the parcels.

Evaluation

On December 9, 2019, Mr. Powers submitted a sealed bid to the Clerk of the Board to purchase the subject parcel.

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 207-20-023C.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to consider a sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's tax parcel number 207-20-023C and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Marian Sheppard)
