AN ACT PRESCRIBING THE MANNER IN WHICH THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF HENDERSON COUNTY MAY SELL AND CONVEY TAX FORECLOSED REAL PROPERTY AND OTHER REAL PROPERTY.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1. The Board of Commissioners of Henderson County is authorized to sell in its discretion at private sale, for such amount as it may deem proper, any real property which the county acquired as a result of tax foreclosure and has owned for at least ten (10)   years prior to the time of sale. Said board of commissioners is further authorized in its discretion and at private sale, to sell any tax foreclosed real property which the county has owned for less than ten (10) years as of the time of the sale, but it shall not sell any such property for an amount less than the county's interest in the same, such interest to include an amount equal to taxes on such property for the years during which the county has owned it. The sales authorized by this Section may be made to the former owners of tax foreclosed property or to anyone else.

Sec. 2. In addition to all other methods of sale now authorized by law, the Board of Commissioners of Henderson County may sell any property owned by the county and no longer needed for county purposes upon sealed bids after advertisement for proposals once a week for four (4) successive weeks in some newspaper of general circulation in Henderson County. Any such sale shall be to the highest bidder, with the sealed bid proposals being opened in public and recorded on the minutes of the board of county commissioners. The advertisement for proposals shall state the time and place for opening of proposals and shall reserve to the board of county commissioners the right to reject all bids.

Sec. 3. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 4. This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 21st day of May, 1963.
