At this sale, the Commission had previously approved staff to bid on three <br />parcels, all of which were purchased for the minimum bid, totaling $2,835.84. <br />Now that these parcels have been acquired, notifications must be mailed and published, <br />and certain paperwork filed. These items have various deadlines and required language. <br />Mr. Heppenheimer, who is involved with the County in the tax sale process, and knows the <br />process necessary to acquire a tax deed on these properties, has provided staff a proposal <br />to do the work necessary to ultimately gain tax deeds for these properties. <br />Attached is Mr. Heppenheimer's proposal. The price, including title work, is $625 each, for <br />a total of $1,875. Because additional certified mailing fees could be necessary for the <br />notification process, staff requests a not -to- exceed amount of $2,000. <br />Staff believes this price is reasonable in light of the statutory requirements needed to gain <br />tax deeds for these properties, and requests approval of Mr. Heppenheimer's proposal. <br />What We Do Today Makes A Difference! <br />
