Iron County contracts title-search services for delinquent-tax properties; estimated cost $8,000
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2026-4061 to contract Knight Barry and Gowey Abstract to perform title searches for properties subject to delinquent tax collection. Estimated total cost is approximately $8,000; rates are $75 per search (Gowey) and $100 per search (Knight Barry).
Iron County approved contracting two title-search firms to support delinquent-tax collection efforts.
Resolution 2026-4061 directs the county to split title searches between Knight Barry and Gowey Abstract because the Deeds Office lacks capacity to complete the searches internally. The resolution lists estimated total cost of approximately $8,000 and specifies agreed rates of $75 per search for Gowey Abstract and $100 per search for Knight Barry. The motion to approve was made by Lauer and seconded by Lutgen and carried unanimously.
The resolution authorizes the County Manager and the Treasurer's office to execute necessary agreements to carry out the work; no budget amendment was required according to the minutes.
