Summary

Treasurer's office presented a one-year contract with RealAuction.com for the county's online tax-deed auction with a per-parcel fee increase from $200 to $250; the fee is included in minimum bids and not paid from county funds. The board approved the agreement.

Kelly West presented a proposed contract with realauction.com, LLC for the county's online tax-deed auction scheduled for Sept. 8, 2026, noting the current contract expires this month and the replacement maintains prior terms except for a change in the per-parcel fee. "The only thing that's different is the fee for each parcel that is sold. It's going from $200 to 250," West said, and emphasized that the fee "is not paid out of county funds" but is included in minimum bids and paid only when a property sells.

Members asked clarifying questions about the fee structure; staff confirmed the contract is a one-year agreement with four additional one-year extension options. After a motion and second, the board approved the vendor agreement by recorded vote.
