Nueces County staff presented a consolidated inventory of county‑owned land and buildings Thursday and told commissioners the list still needs legal and title verification for a small group of parcels.

Peyton Binkorny, who led the inventory project, told the court she compiled a precinct‑by‑precinct roster and flagged two pages of parcels that might not be in county records or that showed conflicting ownership information in the appraisal district database. She said several parcels require additional research to verify addresses and titles.

Commissioners discussed the goals of the effort: reduce the county’s maintenance burden, consider sale of underused parcels to raise reserve funds, and return assets to the tax rolls when feasible. Several commissioners emphasized that any sale or disposition would be deliberate — not a giveaway — and that deed restrictions or other conditions could be applied when appropriate.

Commissioner Brent Chesney and Commissioner Mike Pusley suggested the county consult the Coastal Parks Board and the county attorney before listing properties for sale. Commissioner Joe Gonzales and Commissioner Modas urged caution about placing restrictive conditions that could make parcels unsellable.

The court directed the county attorney to research unclear titles and ownership questions for the subset of roughly 10 parcels that remain unresolved, and asked Peyton Binkorny to finalize the list and return with a refined inventory for placement on the consent agenda at the May 14 meeting. Several commissioners said the inventory should be updated annually.

No sale decisions were made Thursday; commissioners emphasized they will preserve community‑serving properties and will seek legal guidance on how to structure any disposition.
