Henry County authorizes sale of delinquent-tax parcel at reduced price after finding it unsalable at full lien amount
Summary
The Commission authorized the County Mayor to accept an offer of $500 (plus publication and closing costs) for a delinquent-tax parcel on Boyce Street (Map 0950 J 023.01) after finding the parcel cannot be sold for the full delinquent amount. The sale will be published to allow competing offers.
The Henry County Commission approved Resolution 9-11-25 authorizing the sale of a delinquent-tax parcel the county acquired after no bidders at the tax sale. The parcel (Map 0950 J 023.01, Boyce Street) has a county market appraisal listed at $7,200 and taxes/fees shown in the packet at $1,967.45; the county received a quitclaim offer of $500 plus newspaper/publication and closing costs for the parcel.
Resolution 9-11-25 declares that the parcel cannot reasonably be sold for the full amount of taxes, penalties and costs and instructs the County Mayor to accept the reduced offer subject to required legal publication and a minimum overbid opportunity. Commissioner Patrick Burns moved the action and Commissioner Paul Neal seconded; roll call recorded the motion as carried.
