Two of these properties are now up for sale at the St. Joseph County Commissioner's Feb 24, 2011 tax sale. Staff believes purchasing these properties from the tax sale will allow for lower costs in the acquisition process. Both properties have had a value assessment made by two appraisers. The combined average value for both properties is $33,300. Since these properties are already on the Area's acquisition list, staff requests approval of Resolution No. 2840, to take the necessary steps to register and bid on these parcels, in a not to exceed amount of $33,300.
