Summary

Treasurer Samantha reported 57 properties went unsold at the tax sale and 41 may be eligible for a commissioners' sale. The Board of Commissioners debated and approved a $200 minimum starting bid for the upcoming sale.

Greene County commissioners set a $200 minimum opening bid for the upcoming commissioners' certificate sale, after a report from Treasurer Samantha that 57 properties did not sell at the tax sale and 41 of those appear potentially sellable.

Samantha said 16 of the 57 unsold properties were improvements on leased land and likely would not be offered at the commissioners' sale, leaving about 41 properties eligible. Commissioners discussed prior practice (examples cited ranging from $70 to 10 percent of tax owed) and noted the administrative effort involved in processing the sale. Several commissioners recommended raising the minimum from previously cited low figures.

A motion to set the minimum bid at $200 was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The treasurer will proceed with scheduling and the clerk will coordinate dates for the commissioners' sale.
