Clark County’s commission accepted highest bids Thursday for two parcels of surplus county land and required winning bidders to submit 10% nonrefundable deposits within 24 hours. For a three‑parcel unit totaling 0.65 acres east of Dean Martin Drive and north of West Silverado Ranch Boulevard, the highest written bid of $281,000 by Robert R. Black Sr. was accepted after no registered oral bidders came forward. For a 1.02‑acre parcel east of Schambert Road and south of Van Road, the highest written bid of $680,000 by Jeff Thompson (manager of Ann at 215 LLC) was accepted. The third parcel, 0.18 acres at West of Paradise Road and south of Warm Springs Road, received no written or oral bids and was not sold. Auction rules and next steps: The board voted to accept each highest written bid and authorized the director of Real Property Management to sign a quitclaim deed upon receipt of the total bid price. Each successful bidder must deliver a nonrefundable cashier’s check equal to 10% of the winning bid to the Real Property Management office on the fourth floor of the government center within 24 hours. Why it matters: Property sales return surplus land to private ownership and are a routine county mechanism to dispose of unneeded real estate; commissioners reviewed bids and followed the required minimum appraisal thresholds and public auction procedures. Public comments during the auction clarified the bidding rules and the threshold for oral bidding (first oral bid must exceed highest written bid by at least 5%).
