(Superior)– Measures are being taken to address an abandoned house in Superior that has been a source of frustration for city and county officials. They say the residence at 205 8th Street has been abandoned for some 14 years and has become dilapidated and is a safety hazard. Property taxes on it are also delinquent. They say attempts at contacting the owner have been unsuccessful.
City officials, along with County Treasurer Kris Rowley, addressed the matter at Tuesday’s Dickinson County Board of Supervisors meeting. Rowley says numerous tax sale attempts on the property were unsuccessful, and that it was transferred to a county lien in June, 2022. Rowley says the city of Superior wants to demolish the structure but can’t do that unless it has ownership…
Supervisors Tuesday indicated they would be in favor of abating the county’s share of taxes owed on the property of nearly $1,400. Rowley says there are some other procedural things that the city would need to do…
The supervisors will consider taking formal action on the matter at their next meeting.
