Quit Claim Deed for Sale of Assessor's Tax Parcel No. 207-10-017C

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 207-10-017C 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 vacant land off of a hillside in Globe behind a business called Peeks Performance and it is approximately 5.91 acres in size.

Evaluation

On April 28, 2016, the Clerk of the Board deposited a cashier's check from Silver Nickel Mining Company in the amount of $1,983.34 with the Gila County Treasurer for the purchase of the subject property. The amount paid was the total lien amount. A separate $15 payment was 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 207-10-017C so that it can be recorded and later mailed to Silver Nickel Mining Company. 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 Silver Nickel Mining Company.

Suggested Motion

Authorization of the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed for the sale of Assessor's tax parcel number 207-10-017C to Silver Nickel Mining Company.
