PROJECT SUMMARY:
The Carbon County Board of Commissioners seeks to sell 80 acres of real property situated in above the area commonly known as panther canyon. The property is known as tax parcel number 02-0425-0000. The property consists of undeveloped steep mountainous terrain with juniper and pine. Carbon County presently has no right of access to the property. Additional information regarding the property can be obtained from Barry Horsley at (435) 636-3777.
Carbon County is accepting proposals to purchase or exchange the property. Proposals to purchase the property must equal or exceed $20,000. Proposals for an exchange of property must identify the parcel to be exchanged and provide an estimate of its fair market value, and should also identify any unique economic, cultural or other benefits to the residents of Carbon County that may constitute consideration in the form of contributing to the safety, health, prosperity, moral well-being, peace, order, comfort or convenience of County residents (see Utah Code Annotated section 17-50-303). The Commissioners will accept the proposal which they find provides the greatest consideration in exchange for the parcel, taking into account proposals for monetary value as well as proposals to exchange property that constitute consideration in a non-monetary format as defined by U.C.A. 17-50-303.
