If you want to make a higher offer, you must submit a sealed bid to the City Manager's office within ten days of the sale notice. This notice will be published at 4:59 PM on April 15, 2024. After ten days, the Deputy City Clerk will open the bids. The highest bid will be the new offer. If there are multiple highest bids, the first one received will be chosen.

To be considered, a higher bid must be at least $12,650. This is ten percent more than the first $1,000 of the initial offer and five percent more than the rest.

If your bid is not accepted or a higher bid is made, your deposit will be returned.

The final sale is subject to conditions. The City Council must approve the highest offer within 30 days after the final bid. The buyer must pay in cash at closing. The buyer is also responsible for any 2024 taxes and all sale and advertisement costs. The sale will close within thirty days after the Council accepts a bid.
