Commission accepts upset-bid on county-owned parcel 18797; deed preparation authorized
Summary
The Board accepted an $8,000 offer for county-owned parcel 18797 (112 Palmer St., Shelby) and authorized county staff to prepare a deed for delivery upon payment; the record contains inconsistent spellings of the purchaser's name (Stewart/Stephen Spain).
The Board approved accepting an offer to purchase county-owned parcel 18797 (112 Palmer Street, Shelby), which the County obtained through foreclosure in 2023. The county tax value for the parcel is $5,750 and the property carries City of Shelby liens totaling $2,786.29. The upset-bid process produced a single bid of $8,000, which—while not sufficient to clear outstanding indebtedness—exceeded the tax value; the Board authorized staff to prepare the deed and deliver it upon payment.
The meeting minutes record the bidder’s name twice with different spellings: "Stewart Spain" (bid entry) and the deed authorization directed to "Stephen Spain." The Board approved the sale unanimously and directed staff to complete deed preparations following payment.
No further bids were reported during the upset-bid process and commissioners approved use of the statutory contested-bid procedure cited in NC General Statute §153A-176 and §160A-269 as the applicable disposal method for county property.
