Select Board delays decision on listing five tax-acquired parcels
Summary
The board postponed action on a listing agreement for five town-owned parcels acquired through tax sale for two weeks and said broker commissions and legal fees would be paid from sale proceeds when completed.
Chair told the board the town owns five parcels obtained through prior tax sales and that the board will postpone consideration of a listing agreement for two weeks so members can review the details. He said any broker commission and legal fees associated with listing and selling the parcels would be paid from the proceeds of sale; the town will first recoup the tax sale purchase price and then remit any excess to the original owner at the time of sale.
The board clarified that the formal decision to sell had already been made at a prior meeting and this agenda item concerns the listing agreement itself. Chair said if an approval of a listing agreement is needed sooner the board will call a special meeting. No vote was taken on the agreement at this meeting.
