These properties are tax "trust" properties, being properties that were bid <br />off after receiving no bids at the respective tax foreclosure auction. Each of the taxing jurisdictions <br />owns a portion of each lot in proportion to their tax liens. <br />The City of San Marcos is prepared to submit a purchase price that will - consistent with <br />appropriate statutory provisions - pay the associated court costs in full. In addition, the City is <br />willing to offer a nominal amount to be applied toward each entities tax debt. Because the offer <br />being made by the City is less than the minimum bid at foreclosure it therefore requires formal <br />action by the Board of Trustees and County Commissioners respectively. Enclosed you will find a <br />breakdown of the City's offer as well as two Tax Resale Deeds requiring the notarized signature of <br />the board president and the county judge, if the offers are accepted.
