Pittsburg County will re-advertise sale of parcel in Canadian; bids due Feb. 6
Summary
The commissioners approved Resolution 26-156 to re-advertise for sealed bids on a county parcel in Canadian (Lot 2 and E2 of Lot 3, Block 4) after staff said prior bids did not meet the appraisal; sealed bids will be due Feb. 6 and opened Feb. 9.
The Board of County Commissioners voted Jan. 12 to re-advertise the sale of a county-owned parcel in Canadian described as Lot 2 and the east half of Lot 3, Block 4, following staff guidance that previous offers did not equal the property appraisal.
Sandra Crenshaw told the board that the auditor's office advised against accepting or rejecting a prior bid until new bids had been opened because the earlier bid did not match the appraisal. The board approved Resolution 26-156 and the corrected schedule: sealed bids will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, and bids will be opened at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026 at a regular commission meeting. The parcel appraisal is listed as $42,000 (appraisal dated Nov. 14, 2025) in the resolution text.
Why it matters: County property sales affect local tax rolls and reuse of county assets; accurate appraisal and correct procurement steps are required to ensure statutory compliance and fair market process.
What happens next: The county clerk's office will accept sealed bids per the schedule and open them on Feb. 9. The resolution states the board reserves the right to reject any and all bids and re-advertise if necessary.
Quote: "We are not to accept or reject the previous bid until we have opened new bids, since the previous bid did not equal the appraisal," Sandra Crenshaw told the commissioners.
The minutes record a unanimous vote to approve the re-advertisement and corrected dates.
