Sec. 1. State Tax Assessor authorized to convey real estate. Resolved: 
That the State Tax Assessor is authorized to convey by sale the interest of the State in real 
estate in the Unorganized Territory as indicated in this resolve. Except as otherwise 
directed in this resolve, the sale must be made to the highest bidder subject to the 
following provisions.

2. A parcel may not be sold for less than the amount authorized in this resolve. If 
identical high bids are received, the bid postmarked with the earliest date is considered

If bids in the minimum amount recommended in this resolve are not received after 
the notice, the State Tax Assessor may sell the property for not less than the minimum 
amount without again asking for bids if the property is sold on or before April 1, 2008. 
Employees of the Department of Administration and Financial Services, Bureau of
