Treasurer selects title-work vendor for delinquent tax sale, flags possible loss of vehicle-registration revenue
Summary
Treasurer Christine Swaim reported accepting Republican Valley Title's $100-per-property bid for title work on 23 properties and warned a legislative bill to move to a one-time vehicle registration could reduce Motor Vehicle Distribution revenue; she reported $1,373,599 in 2025 motor vehicle distribution and $50,467.96 interest from CD renewals in January.
County Treasurer Christine Swaim presented bids for title work on 23 properties for the upcoming delinquent real estate tax sale. Two bids were received: Republican Valley Title at $100 per property with 60-day completion, and Clay County Abstract & Title Company at $150 per property. Commissioner Carlson moved to accept Republican Valley Title's $100-per-property bid; Commissioner Mayo seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Swaim reported the county earned $50,467.96 in interest during January from CD renewals. She also raised a legislative concern: a bill under consideration that would change vehicle registration to a one-time registration rather than annual renewals, which she said would reduce Motor Vehicle Distribution receipts; she reported the county's Motor Vehicle Distribution total for 2025 was $1,373,599.
