Request/Subject

Quit Claim Deed for Sale of Assessor's Tax Parcel No. 207-15-286

Background Information

On May 26, 2015, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 15-05-05 which outlines the policy and procedures for the sale of land held by the State of Arizona under tax deed. The procedures allow the Clerk of the Board to sell these parcels over the counter for the total lien amount. A separate $15 fee is required to be paid by the purchaser in order to record the Quit Claim Deed. The procedures also state that a consent agenda action item will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors on a regular meeting agenda to obtain authorization from the Board for the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed.

Assessor's tax parcel number 207-15-286 was deeded to the State of Arizona in 2015. It did not sell at the Board of Supervisors' annual tax sale/auction; therefore, it was added to the list of properties that could be purchased year-round for the total lien amount. The subject property is a vacant lot with some deteriorated steps that is located in north Globe.

Evaluation

On April 4, 2016, the Clerk of the Board deposited a cashier's check from Laurie Devine in the amount of $1,068 with the Gila County Treasurer for the purchase of the subject property. The amount paid was the total lien amount. A separate $15 cash payment was also submitted to record the Quit Claim Deed.

Conclusion

The Board of Supervisors needs to authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed for the sale of Assessor's tax parcel number 207-15-286 so that it can be recorded and later mailed to Ms. Devine. Once the deed has been finalized and recorded, it will go back on the County's tax rolls.

Recommendation

The Clerk of the Board recommends that the Board of Supervisors authorize the Chairman's signature on a Quit Claim Deed to finalize the sale of the subject property to Laurie Devine.

Suggested Motion

Authorization of the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed for the sale of Assessor's tax parcel number 207-15-286 to Laurie Devine.
