Authorize the direct sale of tax-foreclosed property located at 116 Hogg Street for$5,922.00 to The Fort Worth Transportation Authority for the TEX Rail Project, in accordance with Section 34.05 of the Texas Tax Code; and 2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute and record the appropriate instruments conveying the property to complete the sale. DISCUSSION: The City of Fort Worth received the property referenced above through a Sheriffs Sale after a tax- foreclosure suit. The City is authorized to conduct a direct sale of tax-foreclosed property to a buyer for the lesser of the market value specified in the judgment or the tax judgment amount. A request was received from The Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T) to purchase the referenced tax-foreclosed property for $5,922.00 for the TEX Rail project. The property is being purchased since once completed, the TEX Rail line will eliminate all access to the property. Since The T is using federal funds in the project, The T is required to buy the property for appraised value even though the Sheriffs Deed amount is $10.00. Staff recommends selling this property to The T for $5,922.00. The T will be responsible for all closing costs of this transaction, as well as post- judgment taxes and any penalties and interest which may accrue before closing. As part of the sale of this property, the City will release all liens. Additional information about the property is shown below.
