County-Owned Properties Available for Sale
When the County forcloses on a property and it is not sold at auction, it becomes the property of the County and remains available for sale. In addition, other County-owned properties deemed as "surplus" may be made available for sale.
Process to purchase County-owned properties
1) Make an offer to purchase, in writing, specifying the property you wish to purchase and the amount of your bid, and present this to the Tax Administrator, who will bring the offer to the Board of Commissioners.
2) If the Board proposes to accept the offer, you will need to make a deposit of 5% of the bid amount with the Clerk to the Board.
3) Upon receipt of the deposit, public notice must be made, giving an opportunity (10 days) for an upset bid. An upset bid must exceed the original bid by at least 10% of the first $1000 and 5% of the remaining amount (if any). As an example, an upset bid for an initial bid of $2000 must be a minimum of $2150. (10% of the first $1000 is $100 and 5% of the remaining $1000 is $50, for a total of $150).
4) If no upset bids are received within 10 days, the sale again goes before the Board, who may choose whether to accept or reject any and all offers.
