County Declares Century Property Surplus; Sells It
February 16, 2009
Escambia County has declared a small parcel of property in Century as surplus, and has put the property up for sale.
The small piece of land is about one-tenth of an acre and is located at 17 Alley 5, very near Ivy Street and the Alabama state line. It is about 50 x 100 feet in size.
The piece of property was acquired by the county after no one bid on it in a tax sale for overdue taxes from the year 2000. It became the county’s property on December 9, 2008. The minimum bid to be considered by the county is $5,472.

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!

Darn it,just my luck.If they get a sucker to pay that send them my way and ill retire back to the great state of alabama.where property taxes are much more reasonable. A.W.

I am speechless. Everyone I know, knows that’s never happened. LOL!!!
This has got to be an early April fools from the BOCC. 5400 dollars? In Century? ………Priceless.
$500 would be my top offer.
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.
