Jourdanton ISD board approves private sale of struck-off property to City of Jourdanton
Summary
The Jourdanton ISD Board approved an order authorizing a private sale under Texas Property Tax Code §34.05 of a struck-off parcel to the City of Jourdanton for $500; Linebarger attorney Ronald Rocha explained the process and the city will pay recording fees so the district incurs no cost.
The Jourdanton Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 7–0 to approve an Order authorizing a private sale of real property previously struck off to taxing authorities in trust under Texas Property Tax Code §34.01, and sold pursuant to §34.05 to the City of Jourdanton for $500.
Ronald Rocha of Linebarger, Attorneys at Law presented the request and "explained what a struck-off property is," noting that the City of Jourdanton is requesting to purchase the property for $500 and would pay the recording fees so "there will be no costs incurred by the District." The motion to approve the Order was made by Kendall Schorsch and seconded by Nicole Rakowitz and passed unanimously.
The board record cites the relevant state law (Texas Property Tax Code §34.01 and §34.05) as the authority for the transaction. The board did not record follow-up conditions beyond the purchaser paying recording fees. The order was approved during new business and is now part of the district's official actions for the meeting.
