FROM: Michelle Holmes, Foreclosure Deputy, Treasurer's Offnce
DATE: March 13, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION: In the Matter of the Finding and Determination to
Declare Certain Tax Title County Property as Surplus and Authorize Sale
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Adam St. John has applied to purchase parcel 932-100-606, Lots 1, Block
6, in Belleview, as per Plat thereof recorded in Volume 2 of Plats, page 43, records of Jefferson County,
Washington. Situate in the County of Jefferson, State of Washington for the amount of $1,891.43. The
property is appropriate for sale and return to tax rolls.
ANALYSIS: The property is "tax title lands" per RCW 36.35.020, meaning it was acquired by the
county for lack of other bidders at a tax foreclosure sale. Tax title lands are held in trust for the taxing
districts.
The property in question qualifies for sale without public notification and public auction per
RCW 36.35.150, a copy of which is attached. The parcel is assessed for $800.00. It became tax title
and reverted to the county in 2022 when the only bidder backed out at the Tax Foreclosure Auction.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sale of this property will return the property to the tax rolls, and $1,891.43 will
be received in back tax revenue and fees. The portion of back tax revenue will be distributed per the
levy distribution amounts, and fees will replenish expenses paid by the Treasurer's O&M Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize sale of the tax title parcel in resolution.
