The other <br />parcel was purchased for $3,502. <br />Now that this parcel has been acquired, notifications need to be published and mailed, in <br />addition to paperwork filed with the courts. These items all have certain deadlines and <br />require certain language. Mr. Heppenheimer, who has been very involved with the County <br />in the tax sale process, and has a great deal of knowledge of the process necessary to <br />acquire a tax deed on these properties, was asked to quote a price to do the work <br />necessary to ultimately gain a tax deed to this property. <br />Attached is Mr. Heppenheimer's proposal. The price, including title work, is $625. There <br />could be additional certified mailing fees necessary for the notification process, so staff <br />requests a not -to- exceed amount of $700. <br />Staff believes this price is reasonable in light of the statutory requirements needed to gain <br />the tax deed to this property, and requests approval of Mr. Heppenheimer's proposal. <br />What We Do Today Makes A Difference! <br />
