Agenda Item Text:

Approve the over-the-counter sales of tax deed properties remaining unsold following the June 6, 2011 Land Auction in the amount of $10,700 as set forth in the attached Parcels Sold Report, plus administrative fees of $600.

Background:

Following the June 6, 2011 land auction, staff immediately posted the Unsold Parcels on the county's website and began accepting over-the-counter (OTC) bids.  The OTC bids received to-date total $10,700, plus $600 in administrative fees, for a total of $11,300 in additional income to the General Fund.  These OTC sales, if approved, when added to the Auction proceeds of $80,900 equal a year-to-date total of $92,200 in sales.  

Our 10-11 Fiscal Year target was $100,000.  We will continue to accept OTC bids on the remaining properties.  This year's Auction list initially had 1,857 parcels on it; there are less than 100 parcels remaining unsold.

UPDATED INFORMATION:  The total admin fees collected was actually $450, not $600.  Three purchases were made jointly and staff only charged one $75 admin fee.  Therefore the total income from OTC Sales for this meeting is $11,150:  $10,700 in parcel/unit sales and $450 in admin fees, as reflected on the reconciliation sheet attached.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Deposit checks.  Ensure all notarized forms required are received.  Once funds have cleared, issue deeds.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

The General Fund will not receive the additional $11,300 in revenue from OTC sales and the parcels will not be returned to the tax roll.
