A Sealed Bid for Assessor's Tax Parcel No. 101-07-227

Background Information

On July 8, 2003, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 03-06-07, which established a policy regarding sales of real property tax deeded to the State of Arizona. Any parcels of land not sold at the Supervisors' annual property tax sale for the year in which the property was deeded to the State of Arizona is added to the County's "Back Tax Land List." This list of available properties is advertised on the County's website for purchase through the County's sealed bid process. Anyone may submit a sealed bid to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Department. The parcel information will be reviewed by the Clerk and the Treasurer and ultimately placed on a Board of Supervisors' meeting agenda at which time the sealed bid envelope will be opened during a public meeting. The Board will then accept or deny the bid. If the bid is accepted, the successful bidder must submit payment to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Department within 48 hours of being notified of the winning bid. A quit claim deed will then be issued to the successful bidder transferring ownership of the property.

Evaluation

It is in the County's best interest to make every attempt to sell these parcels of land which have been deeded to the State of Arizona in order to get the parcels back on the County tax rolls and to relieve the County of the administrative oversight for each parcel of land.

Conclusion

This parcel was deeded to the State of Arizona c/o Board of Supervisors in 2010. The Board held an auction; however, this parcel was not sold, so it was added to the list of available properties for sale through the County's sealed bid process. The subject parcel contains a house that is located at 565 West Fourth Street, Hayden. The total lien amount on this property is $3,443.45.

It is in the County's best interest for the Board of Supervisors to consider the offer for this parcel of State-owned land.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider the offer for the purchase of this property.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to consider a sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's tax parcel number 101-07-227 located in Hayden, which has been deeded to the State of Arizona in care of the Board of Supervisors.
