BACKGROUND
Gaston County currently owns PID# 203783 (.32 acres) located at 2005 Beauhaven Lane, Belmont NC. The Public Works office has received an offer from John Bolin with Allen Tate Realtors, on behalf of his client, in the amount of $20,000. Attorney fees, realtor commission, and estimated pro-rata property taxes from 1/21-6/21 total $1,714, providing a net amount to Gaston County of $18,286.
The Board accepted the initial offer of $20,000 (Resolution 2021-132). The Public Works office advertised in the legal section and no upset bids were received.
On April 24, 2018, The Gaston County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2018-105 to declare this property non-essential. This parcel is not in an area the County is planning to redevelop, nor is it planned for current or future development for County use.
The total cost to date for Gaston County, including purchase price, HOA fees, & newspaper ad for initial upset bid is $15,253.30. In July, another HOA payment for the second half of 2021 will be due in the amount of $1,024.00.
Under G.S. 160A-269, a County has the authority to “receive, solicit, or negotiate an offer to purchase property and advertise it for upset bids.” Under this statute, if the Board of Commissioners accept an offer for said property, the County must then advertise the bid in the newspaper and allow ten (10) days for other bids to be received. Staff will bring the highest and best offer back to the Commission for final approval.
