Board approves Security 1st Title LLC for tax‑foreclosure title searches
Summary
The Board of Bids and Contracts approved a one‑year contract with two one‑year options with Security 1st Title LLC to provide title searches for tax‑foreclosure proceedings; purchasing said the service is paid by property owners or reimbursed from foreclosure proceeds.
Tammy Foley, introduced during the meeting as the purchasing presenter, recommended that the county accept Security 1st Title LLC's proposal to provide title‑search services for tax‑foreclosure proceedings.
"The committee unanimously agreed to accept the proposal from Security 1st Title LLC," Foley said, noting that requests come in two installments timed to the tax‑sale schedule. Purchasing told the board the average installment is approximately 250–350 parcels and that county staff requested 891 searches divided into six cases in 2024.
Board members asked about costs and were told the $140 title‑report fee is billed to the affected parcel and ultimately paid by the property owner at redemption or reimbursed from foreclosure sale proceeds. The contract is for one year with two one‑year renewal options.
Motion and vote: a board member moved to accept the proposal and the motion was seconded; the clerk called the roll and recorded unanimous approval of the contract as presented.
