The Baker County Board voted to rescind resolution 2013‑1036, which previously imposed additional county policy on the sale of tax‑foreclosed property, and adopted a revised reacquisition application and notice form on Aug. 25.

County staff said the 2013 policy added limitations that are no longer in the county's best interest and recommended rescission so the sale of tax‑foreclosed properties to prior record owners is governed by ORS 275.180 and related statutes. The commissioners unanimously approved resolution 2025‑1012 rescinding the 2013 resolution; the rescission takes effect on the date of signature.

Following that action, the board approved an order authorizing Chair Alderson to sign and record a quick‑claim deed returning 1047 Rose Street to the prior owner, Sherry Anne McGuire, for not less than $5,060.36 plus 6 percent interest per annum and applicable fees (to be calculated through the date of recording), in accordance with ORS 275.180.

Nut graf: The commission said rescinding the 2013 policy simplifies reacquisition workflows and ensures the county follows state statutory authority when selling tax‑foreclosed properties back to prior owners.

Ending: Staff will finalize fee and interest calculations to accompany the quick‑claim deed and will file the deed upon receipt of payment and required documentation.
