It is the first land auction to be held in more than five years, according to the county. It will be held in the Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, 1415 Melody Lane, Building G, in Bisbee.
The first sale will offer a limited number of properties located in the northern region of the county followed by a larger land auction early in 2009.

Properties within Cochise County held by the state by tax deed will be offered for sale to the public. There are a total of 43 units offered in the auction, each containing two or more parcels.
At the conclusion of the bidding for units on the auction list, parcels from unsold units will be offered for bid individually. Units/parcels that do not sell at the auction will be offered for sale over-the-counter on a continuous basis at the Board of Supervisors’ office.
The Board of Supervisors will execute, record and deliver to the purchaser of these units/parcels a deed conveying the title of the state in and to the purchased property free of all liens (existing easements remain). Back taxes due on the parcels sold at auction will be eliminated.
A “Frequently Asked Questions” section about the auction can be found online at cochise.az.gov. The informational site also includes a list of parcels, information for registering bids and an interactive map of all properties.
Another land auction with more properties throughout the county is scheduled for early 2009.
