Information is also provided regarding Procedures for the disposition of any county government -owned property. BACKGROUND: The Commissioners have expressed interest in selling the property it purchased for the Solid Waste Collection Site on Frazier Road (Cheeks Township.) The Recreation and Parks Advisory Council has requested that the county offer the use of the property for recreation purposes to the residents of the Perry Hills Subdivision while the sale of the property is pending. Options available to the County to allow this use are (a) sell the property to the Perry Hills residents, or (b) lease the property to a Homeowners Association. SALE OPTION: County Governments are directed by G.S. 153A -176 to dispose of property in the same manner as city governments and in accordance with the procedures set forth in G.S. Chapter 160A, Article 12 (G.S. 160A -265 through 277). Under the North Carolina Constitution, it is generally unconstitutional for a local government to dispose of property for less than its fair market value. Most of the procedures by which a county is permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of property are competitive.
