Flags
- Structure on record
The county's records show something built here: improvement value on the assessor's roll, or a year built on its parcel map. That can be the asset or it can be the liability — a derelict building is a demolition bill, and an occupied one is a possession problem.
- Offered before, didn't sell
This parcel was in the county's previous sale and did not sell, so the market has already seen it once and passed. A lower opening bid this time means the county is trying again.
Fire and road access
