Board approves disposal and sale of forfeited property at 4533 Bristol Highway

The Scott County Board of Supervisors held a public hearing and approved the sale of real property the county obtained via forfeiture proceedings.

County staff said the parcel at 4533 Bristol Highway (tax map 149-A-22), previously the Kilgore store site, came to the county via an order of forfeiture and was held in the county’s name. The county received a cash offer that a special commissioner would execute through judicial sale; county staff said proceeds, after county expenses, would be split between the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and the sheriff pursuant to the forfeiture process.

A motion to proceed with the sale and accept the special commissioner’s offer passed on a voice vote. The board’s action authorizes the special-commissioner sale to move forward; the county clerk and attorney’s office will complete required closing and distribution steps consistent with the forfeiture and sale process.
