12 - TAX SALEItem No. 12
memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: John Godwin, City Manager
SUBJECT: TAX SALE
DATE: January 18, 2017
BACKGROUND: Our delinquent tax attorney, Tracy Pounders, continues to try to address
delinquencies in more and unique ways, and conduct regular property tax sales. Out next sale is
tentatively scheduled for March 7, 2017.
STATUS OF ISSUE: Prior to that date, consistent with the Texas Property Tax Code, we need a
new council resolution authorizing the Sheriff or a Constable to re -sell tax warrant properties that
are not sold at public sale, but bid off to the City of Paris. This is substantially the same as
previous resolutions submitted for the same purpose, except for having a new list of properties.
BUDGET: NA
RECOMMENDATION: Approve resolution.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE SHERIFF OR A CONSTABLE TO
RE -SELL TAX FORECLOSED PROPERTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
TEXAS PROPERTY TAX CODE SECTION 34.05.
WHEREAS, the properties identified in Exhibit "A" (the "Tax Warrant
Properties ", identified by their Lamar County Appraisal District Account Number,
the approximate acreage, and legal description) are parcels of real property which
have been identified as abandoned, are less than one acre in size, and have total
delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, municipal health or safety liens and anticipated
costs of standard litigation against them in excess of their appraised value; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 33, Subchapter E, of the Texas Property Tax Code
provides a procedure for seizing and selling abandoned real property of less than
one acre in size that has total delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, municipal health
or safety liens and anticipated costs of standard litigation against it in excess of its
appraised value, by tax warrant; and
WHEREAS, if the Tax Warrant Properties are seized and offered for sale at a
Tax Sale as authorized by the Texas Property Tax Code, some or all may be bid -off to
the City of Paris ( "the "City "), rather than sold to a private bidder; and
WHEREAS, should any of the Tax Warrant Properties be bid -off to the CITY,
the CITY desires that the Tax Warrant Properties be promptly re -sold, on the same
day if possible, by public re -sale in accordance with Texas Property Tax Code
Subsections 34.05(c) and (d), subject to any remaining rights of redemption and
other rights or privileges provided for by law or court order;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ORDERED by the City Council of
the City of Paris, Texas, that:
Section 1. The Sheriff or a Constable is hereby requested to promptly re -sell
the Tax Warrant Properties, the same day if reasonably possible, by public sale in
accordance with Texas Property Tax Code Subsections 34.05(b), (c) & (d), to the
extent that a Tax Warrant Property is bid -off to the City of Paris, Texas and as
otherwise permitted by the Texas Property Tax Code.
Section 2. That the City Manager or his designee is hereby authorized to set
a minimum bid for each property subject to public sale, and to withdraw any
individual property (in whole or part) from public sale if it is in the best interests of
the City of Paris.
Section 3. This Resolution shall be effect immediately from and after its
passage in accordance with the provisions of the law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 23rd day of January, 2017.
