of Bangor has recorded tax liens on the property for unpaid real estate taxes; several of which
have matured. The property is currently assessed in the name of "Unknown Owner" as the City
Assessing Department has been unable to identify ownership. All attempts to identify an owner
and receive payment have been unsuccessful. In addition, no one has contacted the City to
claim ownership of the parcel. If approved, this order will also authorize the removal of all
personal property.
