Committee authorizes staff to pursue sale or disposal of stored items from tax-foreclosed Rhinelander property RH-1327
Summary
The committee learned that personal property removed from tax-foreclosed parcel RH-1327 was held in sheriff storage for 30 days; the holding period ended, keys were turned over to Land Information staff, and the committee authorized staff to sell or dispose of stored valuables if opportunities arise.
The Oneida County Land Records Committee on May 5 reviewed the status of tax-foreclosed property RH-1327 (209/213 E. Frederick St., Rhinelander) and authorized staff action on stored personal property.
Sara Chiamulera, Land Information Office staff, gave a history of the parcel. When the county took title because of tax delinquency, a large amount of personal property remained on the premises. Chiamulera said county staff contacted the prior owner, who did not sign off on ownership of the personal property. "Following Wisconsin Statute and County Ordinance, a writ of assistance was filed and issued by the Oneida County Court to the Sheriff’s Department for the removal of personal property," Chiamulera told the committee. She said items were removed and placed in sheriff storage for thirty days; "the thirty day holding period has elapsed, and keys have been turned over to the Land Information Office."
Chiamulera told members that a raze order remains in place for the property, but after the city inspector's review the county would not raze the smaller dilapidated house. An appraisal by appraiser Kyle Zastrow was completed to assist the committee in determining a sales value. Chiamulera and staff discussed how to show the property when offered for sale and how to handle valuables in storage; Buildings & Grounds will begin yard maintenance and hazardous trees have been removed.
On a motion by Kyle Timmons, seconded by Robert Briggs, the committee voted unanimously to permit Land Information Office staff to move forward with the sale or disposal of stored valuables from RH-1327 "if the opportunity presents itself," the motion states. The record shows the motion passed with all ayes.
