The normally smooth process of selling bits and pieces of property after no taxes have been paid on it ran into a few bumps at the March 2 meeting of the Gila County Board of Supervisors.
The property is West Grace Lane, off North McLane Road in Payson, and the total lien amount on this parcel is $3,708. Cynthia and Andy Romance submitted a sealed bid for the property with the understanding they would be responsible for the roadâs maintenance as several other property owners use it. The bid submitted was $1,000.
One of the property owners is Roy Sandoval, Gila County superintendent of schools. Speaking as a property owner, not a county elected official, Sandoval told the supervisors it is a private road and he and several other property owners had paid about $2,200 a few years ago to have the road re-paved. The property owners paid for the original paving about 20 years ago, he said.

Blight enforcement is slippery slope ™

The Town of New Canaan has had a blight ordinance on the books since October 2006. While the ordinance states that its purpose is to define, prohibit and abate housing blight in order to protect, preserve and promote public health, safety and welfares, and to preserve and protect property values, Blight Officer Brian Platz said he has a couple issues with it. What I ve found to be the case many, many times is that more often than not, feuding neighbors use the blight ordinance as a weapon to get at each other, Platz said, As the enforcement officer, I get sucked into this vortex of Hatfields and McCoys.
