Camas County directs treasurer to issue tax deeds for three parcels after unpaid 2021 taxes
Summary
After a public hearing on Jan. 26, 2026, the Camas County Board of Commissioners found statutory requirements met and voted unanimously to direct the treasurer to issue tax deeds for three parcels owned by Marc Schmidt with unpaid 2021 taxes.
The Camas County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 26, 2026 voted to direct the county treasurer to issue tax deeds for three parcels belonging to Marc Schmidt after taxes for 2021 remained unpaid. The action followed a public hearing at which Treasurer Frederickson presented exhibits and the owner, Marc Schmidt, spoke on his behalf.
Treasurer Frederickson presented exhibits labelled A through E for parcels RP01S15E113000A, RP01S15E025401A and RP01S15E112401A and reported that legal communications had been returned unopened and that taxes were still unpaid as of Jan. 26, 2026. Chairman Kramer opened the hearing under Idaho Code 63-1005 and 63-1006(6). Marc Schmidt represented himself and asked the board to consider why he should not be required to pay the taxes; the board then closed the evidentiary portion of the hearing and moved to deliberation.
Commissioner Colter moved to direct the Camas County Treasurer/Tax Collector to issue tax deeds on the three parcels (RP01S15E113000A; RP01S15E025401A; RP01S15E112401A). Commissioner Ralph seconded the motion and it passed. The board later adopted Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law related to the hearing and directed Chairman Kramer to electronically sign the documents; the recorded votes on that action were Kramer, yes; Ralph, yes; Colter, yes.
The parcels were described in the hearing record as: RP01S15E113000A (SEC 11 T1S R15E NW1/4 NW1/4 except a 12-foot strip along the west side for county road right-of-way), RP01S15E025401A (SEC 2 T1S R15E SW1/4 SW1/4; SE1/4 SW1/4 except a 12-foot strip along the west side for county road right-of-way), and RP01S15E112401A (SEC 11 T1S R15E E1/2 NW1/4). The hearing minutes record that statutory posting and publication requirements were followed and that the treasurer met statutory obligations related to the tax-deed process.
Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes direct the treasurer/tax collector to issue the tax deeds; the minutes do not specify a date by which deeds will be recorded or any follow-up timeline.
