This includes a map showing the requested parcel. Pierce County Facilities Management Department sets the minimum bid price for all parcels. A memorandum to all County departments and other governmental agencies that may have an interest in the property are sent asking if they have a need for the property. If we have not received any response expressing a need to retain the property in government ownership, either an Executive Approval to Sell Form or a County Ordinance is prepared for approval and signature. If there is a request for the property from a government agency, a letter is sent to the requesting party explaining that the parcel is not being declared excess and put up for sale due to government needs.
Interest is to be paid at the time the annual installment is due.
