Account Number: Report: Resolution: XX Ordinance: Amount Budgeted: Exhibits: HCAD Map Amount Requested: Exhibits: Property Offer Budgeted Item: YES NO HCAD Appraisal Record Exhibits: SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On January 2, 2001, property located at 327 N First Street was offered for public bid via a "Sheriffs Sale". This property was offered because the property owner had not paid taxes on the property for several years. When no one bid on the property, the title to the property reverted to the La Porte Tax Office as Trustee for the City of La Porte, the La Porte Independent School District and Harris County. The property comprises 1 city lot and is approximately 25' by 125', or 3,125 square feet. The property also contained an abandoned house, which was removed by the city on November 9, 2001. The La Porte Tax Office received an offer from Bayou Housing Par1ners in the amount of $2,500, which is the value of a typical lot in this area. The property is on the Harris County Appraisal District Roll with an appraised value of $3,800. Delinquent Taxes and cost on the property total approximately $8,524 (14 years worth). Since the offer received for the resale is less than either of these values, it requires approval by each of the three taxing entities before the resale can take place. If all three entities approve, the sale will occur with each entity receiving its pro-rata share of the tax distribution. Even though we are reselling this property for less than is due on the property, staff believes the absorption of the loss is necessary to get the property into the hands of a owner who has the intentions to rebuild, care for and maintain the property as well as pay taxes on it in the future. ACTION REQUIRED BY COUNCIL: Approve resolution authorizing the resale of the tax properties to Bayou Housing Partners. FUND N/A ACCT NUM: FUNDS AVAILABLE 1:l-j-tJ3 DATE
