What this is
The city proposes to sell a property at 1708 Baylor Dr. that it acquired through tax foreclosure. The sale would go to the highest qualified purchaser, either through a public or private sale, under the Texas Property Tax Code.
Why it matters
Returning this foreclosed property to private ownership can put it back on the tax rolls and potentially improve a neighborhood parcel.
