Title, Order
Directing the City Manager to Take Possession of Vacant Land Located on the Hayford Road Formerly Owned
by Daniel M. Searway and Jennifer K. Searway and Authorizing Execution of a Municipal Quitclaim Deed,
Map/Lot 022-012-C.
This Order directs the City Manager to take possession of vacant land located on the Hayford Road
by virtue of matured tax liens. The property is identified as Map/Lot 022-012-C and was previously
owned by Daniel M. Searway and Jennifer K. Searway. The City of Bangor has recorded multiple tax
liens on the property for unpaid real estate taxes, which have matured. All attempts to receive
payment from the Searways have been unsuccessful.
The best use of the property would be to transfer it to the abutter Li Qun Yang. The agreed upon
price of $2,181.78, the amount of the outstanding real estate taxes, has been paid in full and there
are no outstanding sewer or stormwater fees and no property issues. A municipal quitclaim deed is
required to convey the City's interest in the property.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on March 5, 2018.
