Whitman County sets minimum bid at $3,500 for Oakesdale 'Old Café' tax-titled sale
Summary
The commission authorized Treasurer Chris Nelson to sell the tax-titled property at 108 W Steptoe Street (the former Old Café) by sealed bid and reduced the minimum bid to $3,500 to cover taxes and county administrative costs.
The Whitman County Board voted to authorize Treasurer Chris Nelson to sell by sealed bid the tax-titled parcel located at 108 W Steptoe Street in Oakesdale, known as the Old Café. Commissioner Tom Handy proposed lowering the minimum bid from $5,000 to $3,500 to better align with the outstanding taxes and county administrative costs; the board amended the motion and carried the change.
The board recorded the revised motion: "Move to authorize Treasurer Nelson to sell by sealed bid the tax-titled property located at 108 W Steptoe Street in Oakesdale, known as the Old Café with a minimum bid of $3,500." Staff noted the minimum bid was expected to cover foreclosure taxes and county costs but did not represent an appraisal or fair-market valuation.
