Commissioners approve sale of tax‑forfeit parcel to City of Holly for $500
Summary
The board approved a resolution allowing the City of Holly to purchase a nonbuildable tax‑forfeit parcel for $500, replacing an earlier conditional approval that the state had declined.
The Clay County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved a resolution authorizing the City of Holly to purchase a tax‑forfeit parcel (parcel number cited during the meeting) for $500, replacing an earlier agreement that would have transferred the property with use restrictions.
County staff explained the parcel is low‑lying and not buildable; the state originally denied a conditional transfer because the city had not provided sufficient detail for the state’s required deed conditions. A state representative advised the city that an outright purchase for $500 would avoid the additional deed conditions and the administrative burden of conditional use restrictions, so the city asked the county to approve a resolution replacing the previous transfer authorization with an outright sale.
The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution as presented. No further public hearing or additional county conditions were added during Tuesday’s vote.
Ending: County staff recorded that the parcel had been tax‑forfeited since 2013 and that the purchase is intended to give the City of Holly clear title without the state’s conditional use restrictions.
