Approve Real Estate Sale

The sale of any real property of the county having an appraised value of $10,000 or more must be approved by the County Council, as must every lease of real property for which the total annual rental payments will be $3,000 or more. For real estate which is estimated to cost $25,000 or more, the County Council must pass a resolution expressing interest in the proposed purchase before the commissioners may convey the property. For a purchase of land only, the County Council must pass an authorization ordinance when the land is valued at $1,000 or more.
