Commission approves quitclaim offer for delinquent-tax parcel to Naomi Teem for $500, subject to publication and competing bids
Summary
The commission authorized offering a delinquent-tax parcel (Map 096M A 30.00) for quitclaim to Naomi Jean Teem for $500 plus costs, subject to statutory publication and opportunity for higher bidders.
On March 16 the Henry County Commission approved Resolution 4-3-26 authorizing the sale of a delinquent-tax parcel (Map 096M, Group A, Parcel 30.00) at a reduced price. The commission accepted the Delinquent Tax Committee’s recommendation to authorize the county mayor to accept an offer from Naomi Jean Teem for $500 (plus publication, closing and recording costs), subject to statutory publication and a minimum competing-bid requirement.
Resolution language makes clear Tennessee law requires publication of the offer and a period during which any party may exceed the offer (by at least 10% higher) and that the county may hold a final auction if higher offers are received. The commission also directed that the County Attorney’s recommended terms and conditions and the committee’s finding that the parcel cannot reasonably be sold for the full accrued taxes be recorded in the minutes.
Exhibit materials attached in the record include the written offer, quitclaim conditions (conveyance by quitclaim deed, ‘as is, where is’), closing and publication cost estimates, and a parcel map indicating the county as current owner. The offer identifies Naomi Jean Teem as the purchaser and contains the standard 90-day irrevocability and deposit provisions required by the county’s quitclaim process.
Commissioner Patrick Burns moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Gatlin Primrose seconded and the motion carried.
