RE: Sale of Tax Title parcel through Private Negotiation 01-0776-000 and 06-1167-000
I received Tax Title applications for an offer to purchase parcels 01-0776-000 and 06-1167-000 for
$1,200.00 and $300.00. 1 did negotiate for a higher bid to 700.00 on parcel 06-1167-000. Parcel 06-
1167-00 was in last year's Foreclosure Sale where the starting bid was around 1,043.55 but did not get
bid on. Parcel 01-0776-000 became a tax title parcel in 1976. The applicant is not an adjacent property
owner for either. As allowed under RCW 36.35.150(l)(b), I would like to dispose of Parcel 01-0776-000
for being next to the canal and not practical to build due to its physical characteristics and | would like to
dispose of Parcel 06-1167-000 per (1)(d) where no acceptable bids were received at the attempted
auction that was held less than ayear ago. | would like sell these two parcels for $l,9OO.00plus the cost
of deed, affidavit fees and recording fees and with this offer through private negotiation instead of going
through the public auction process toget these parcels back onthe tax rolls. Please approve our ability
to dispose these parcels by private negotiations as allowed by law get these ba'ck on our tax rolls.
Sincerely, -~

call for bids, under certain circumstances. Direct sale for a price not less than the principal
amount of the unpaid taxes is authorized when no acceptable bids were received at the
attempted public auction of the property for any of the following cases (a) when the sale is to
any governmental agency and for public purposes; (b) when the county legislative authority
determines that it is not practical to build on the property due to the physical characteristics of
the property or legal restrictions on construction activities on the property; (c) when the
property has an assessed value of less than five hundred dollars and the property is sold to an
adjoining landowner; or (d) when no acceptable bids were received at the attempted public
auction of the property, if the sale is made within twelve months from the date of the
attempted public auction,
