Curry County approves sale of tax-foreclosed strip to adjoining owner for $2,500
Summary
At its March 17 meeting the Curry County Board of Commissioners accepted a verbal $2,500 offer from adjoining resident Robert Weber to buy a narrow tax-foreclosed strip that contains his driveway; the board closed the hearing, made a motion to accept the offer and approved it by voice vote.
The Curry County Board of Commissioners voted on March 17 to accept a verbal offer of $2,500 from adjoining resident Robert Weber for a narrow tax-foreclosed strip that includes his driveway.
During a public hearing, Robert Weber told the board the strip adjoins his property at 94819 Elk River Road and carries a 30-foot easement that includes his driveway. He said the parcel functions as a "road to nowhere" but is used as his driveway and asked that his wife, Suzanne Weber, be included on the deed.
The board closed the hearing after receiving the offer, filled the motion on the hearing script and called the question. Commissioners voiced approval and the chair announced the motion passed.
Weber said the $2,500 offer matched the county's assessed value for the strip. The transcript records verbal motions and a voice vote approving the sale; written closing and deed-processing steps will be handled by county staff.
The board did not record a detailed roll-call tally in the packet; the public record shows the verbal motion was made, seconded and approved during the meeting.
Next steps include staff preparing the sale paperwork and coordinating with the buyers and county recorder to finalize the transfer.
