Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 101-07-123.

Background Information

On November 21, 2014, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 101-07-123 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 August 4, 2015 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 has is a small vacant lot and is located at 255 E. Plaza Avenue in Hayden. The total lien amount on this parcel is $865.62.

Evaluation

On April 28, 2021, Glen Woodland submitted a sealed bid to the Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling parcel number 101-07-123 for less than the lien amount. Mr. Woodland owns an adjoining parcel and if his bid is accepted, he plans on building a communal garden.

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 101-07-123 and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Marian Sheppard)
