RECOMMENDATION(S):
DENY petition to rescind the sale of a tax-defaulted property filed on behalf of Jacqueline Y. Mau and Tien Lung Chen.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No negative financial impact on the County.
BACKGROUND:
The Tax Collector sold a tax-defaulted property, which is located in the Point Richmond neighborhood of the City of Richmond and identified by Assessor's Parcel Number 558-192-007 (the "Property"), at a public auction in February 2014. The deed for the Property was recorded on March 18, 2014. The Office of the County Counsel received a petition dated March 13, 2015 from an attorney who represents the purchasers of the Property seeking to rescind the sale because the purchasers were not aware that the Property was zoned as permanent open space. The petition also sought to rescind the sale of five other properties, but the purchasers are no longer seeking rescission according to the attorney who submitted the petition on their behalf.
