Commission ratifies tax-sale listing and approves low-income abatement for one parcel
Summary
County staff presented the 2026 tax-sale report (36 parcels sold, 39 struck back to the county); commissioners ratified the tax-sale listing. The commission also approved a county-only low-income abatement for Parcel 04-062-0084, reducing the county portion by $1,412 as explained by the auditor's office.
County staff presented the final tax-sale listing for 2026: staff reported 36 parcels had been purchased at sale and 39 parcels would be struck back to Box Elder County. The auditor read the statutory conveyance language required to ratify acceptance in payment of general taxes; the board ratified the listing by motion.
A public applicant, Mary Jean Thompson, requested a low-income abatement. Marcy Powell of the county auditor's office explained income guidelines and said Thompson's household was recorded $10,000 over the abatement threshold because the spouse's income from January and February had to be counted under the law. Powell said the county could only abate the county portion; she calculated the county portion at $1,412. Commissioners approved the low-income abatement for parcel 04-062-0084 by voice vote.
Commissioners did not provide additional details on subsequent deeds or redevelopment of struck-back parcels during the meeting.
