The La Porte Tax Office actively markets these resale properties. When a bid is received that is greater than either the amount due on the property or the HCAD appraised value, the Tax Office is able to complete the sale. If a bid is received that is less than either the amount due or the HCAD appraised value, then the sale requires the approval of all three taxing entities. Tonight, we are bringing five lots before you for your consideration. In this case, the bid amount is equal to the appraised value. We are recommending the City Council approve all the purchase of these five lots by the City. Offer from the City of La Porte for Lots 8-12 Block 88 Town of La Porte Bid Amount Appraised Value Approximate Amount Due $13,800 $13,800 $18,860 Bid Amount is 100% of the Appraised Value.
