Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 302-41-144.

Background Information

The subject property is a small dirt road leading to Parcel No. 302-41-142C, which is owned by Scott D. Keeney at 1406 N. Boeing Circle, Payson. This road will allow ingress or egress to Mr. Keeney parcel and is a requirement from the Town of Payson for the building permits for the property. The total lien amount on this parcel is $694.70.

On November 21, 2014, the Gila County Treasurer deeded parcel number 302-41-144 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 Board of Supervisors' August 4, 2015, annual auction.

Mr. Keeney recently met with the Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board and he explained that he must purchase the subject property from the State of Arizona c/o the Board of Supervisors so that he can build his home due to a requirement placed on him by the Town of Payson. The Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board contacted the Town of Payson and they were not interested in purchasing the road for the town and so it was determined that the best course for Mr. Keeney was for him to purchase it himself so that he may continue with the construction of his home.

Evaluation

On October 24, 2022, Mr. Keeney submitted a sealed bid to the Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling parcel number 302-41-144 for less than the lien amount. Mr. Keeney owns property that adjoins the subject property.

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."

Mr. Keeney would like the Board to consider their bid to purchase the property they previously purchased.

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 subject property.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to consider a sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's tax parcel number 302-41-144 and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Melissa Henderson)
