Information

Request/Subject

Sealed bid for the purchase of Assessor's parcel number 101-02-012X.

Background Information

On October 4, 2021, the Gila County Treasurer deeded Assessors Tax Parcel Number 101-02-012X 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 split from the owner's property due to a road easement that never occurred by a lot line adjustment. The owner of the property is requesting that it be reincorporated back into the original parcel. 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 Numbers101-02-012W and 101-02-012Y in Hayden. The total lien amount on this parcel is $504.75.

The request is being submitted by John Chris Lorenzen who owns Parcel No.'s 101-02-012W and 101-02-012Y.

Evaluation

On July 21, 2022, John Chris Lorenzen submitted a sealed bid to the Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board for the Board of Supervisors to consider selling parcel number 101-02-012X for less than the lien amount. Mr. Lorenzen owns an adjoining Parcel No.'s 101-02-012W and 101-02-012Y 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 101-02-012X and, if accepted, authorize the Chairman's signature on the Quit Claim Deed. (Melissa Henderson)
