Chilton County Commission approves excess-bid payouts to estates and property claimants
Summary
The commission approved three resolutions to distribute excess funds from past tax sales, including $16,806.12 to the estate representative of Luther and Sadie Cleckler and two additional payments of $7,925.85 and $53,579.74 tied to parcel PINs; one abstention was recorded on the larger payment.
The Chilton County Commission unanimously approved a resolution to pay $16,806.12 in excess funds to Kim E. Cleckler, personal representative of the estates of Luther and Sadie Cleckler, following a tax sale originally held on May 2, 2016. County attorney Ben Goldman presented the resolution, citing the relevant deed and book references tied to the parcel and the calculation of excess proceeds. "This relates to property that was conveyed through a clerk's deed," Goldman said, recommending the payment.
The commission then approved a second resolution addressing two additional parcels. Goldman said one parcel followed an $8,100 bid and is entitled to $7,925.85 in excess proceeds; the other followed a $55,000 bid and is entitled to $53,579.74. The motion to approve those payments passed; the record shows Commissioner Perkins abstained on the second payment. The chair announced the vote as passing with an abstention noted.
Nut graf: The actions distribute funds that remained after tax-sale bids and direct those proceeds to named personal representatives of estates or other claimants. County staff and the attorney confirmed parcel identification numbers and bid histories before the votes.
The attorney identified the parcels during the presentation and gave parcel identification numbers and bid amounts; the commission took no further debate and approved the payments. The chair closed discussion after each vote. No additional conditions or appeals were recorded in the meeting transcript.
