Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 207-03-007C.

Background Information

On October 4, 2021, the Gila County Treasurer deeded Assessors Tax Parcel Number 207-03-007C 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 was determined to be a parcel that had been left off of a land purchase belonging to Corso Five LLC and was not transferred during the purchase of the property. It was placed in a moratorium during the March 28, 2022, to April 11, 2022, Public Surplus Auction.

This property is located next to Assessor's Tax Parcel Number 207-03-004B up on a hillside in the Central Heights area of Globe. The total lien amount on this parcel is $922.31.

The request is being submitted by Kevin Corso and Carmen Corso who own Parcel No. 207-03-007F.

Evaluation

On June 28, 2022, Kevin and Carmen Corso submitted a sealed bid to the Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling parcel number 207-03-007C for less than the lien amount. The Corsos own an adjoining Parcel No. 207-03-007F and would like to purchase the property so that it goes back into the original plot of land that was in the original purchase.

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 207-03-007C and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Melissa Henderson)
