Commissioners authorize offering landlocked tax-deed parcel on JesseB4s Road to adjacent owners
Summary
The board authorized a process to offer a landlocked property (tax deeded in 2016) to adjacent landowners under the statutory public-sale procedure; staff will send certified notices to neighbors and proceed per statute.
The board authorized staff to pursue sale of a tax-deed parcel on JesseB4s Road that has been in county ownership since 2016. Staff described the parcel as effectively landlocked, with a deteriorated mobile home on site, no onsite well (well service appears on an adjacent parcel) and likely cleanup costs.
Under the statutory process cited by staff, the county may offer such surplus parcels to adjacent landowners or sell by private contract if statutory notice requirements are met. Commissioners directed staff to notify adjacent owners (the transcript referenced certified or direct notice), confirm the parcel appraisal/valuation and return with sale options. A motion to proceed with the neighbor-notification/private-sale process passed after a second and voice vote.
Ending: Staff will prepare the required notices and quotes for the board and attempt to return the parcel to the tax rolls if a sale is feasible; any sale will follow statutory procedures for tax-deed properties.
