We paid about $500 more than that for our very nice 1 1/4 acre lot in Jay.

Considering the lots size and location, they won’t be able to give it away!

50 x 100 feet for $5,472 in Century? Come on, the BOCC has got to be joking, right? Someone at the county is high on themselves if he or she thinks that less than one eighth of an acre is worth that much in that area. To get property back on the tax roll and collect some revenue would be of better interest to the public, so it may have to given away to an adjacent land owner in order to facilitate that. Remember, BOCC you can’t lose what you don’t have, and I don’t think you’ll get $1,000 at best for the splinter of property.
