Commission discusses beginning tax-deed process to review title-abstract bids
Summary
County staff and commissioners discussed Resolution 25-08 to begin the tax-deed process for properties with unpaid taxes, including soliciting title-abstract bids and the timeline for opening the redemption period; staff said soliciting abstracts will start the process and estimated roughly $400 for abstract fees.
Commissioners discussed Resolution 25-08 to initiate the tax-deed process and solicit bids for title abstracts for properties with unpaid taxes.
Staff described the resolution as the first step in a multi-stage process. The county will solicit title companies for price quotes (staff referenced an approximate $400 cost for abstracts), notify lienholders and mortgage holders, and then open statutory redemption periods when notices or a tax deed are issued. "The redemption process really doesn't start until I get done and actually say I'm gonna issue a tax deed and issue a tax deed," a county staff member explained.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the timeline and the steps involved. The discussion focused on procedure rather than on any individual property case; no final vote on a resolution adoption was recorded in the transcript during the meeting.
Next steps: staff will solicit title-abstract bids and return with pricing and any items requiring further commissioner action before a tax deed is issued.
