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 l,O43.55but 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. Asallowed under R[VV3G.35.l5O(l)(b),|would like bodispose ofParcel O1-O77G-UOO
for being next to the canal and not practical to build due to its physical characteristics and I 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 sellthese two parcels for $1,9OO.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 Uakk on our tax rolls.
