MEETING DATE: August 13, 2025
SUBJECT: Authorize the sale of real property located at 2675 NW Norse Drive, Redmond to
Kindred, LLC
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move approval of Board signature of Order No. 2025-036 authorizing the sale of real
property located at 2675 NW Norse Drive, Redmond, to Kindred, LLC, and further authorize
the Deschutes County Property Manager to execute the documents associated with the
sale.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
In February 2020, Deschutes County acquired real property located at 2675 NW Norse
Drive, Redmond, by Tax Deed through the property tax foreclosure process due to
nonpayment of property taxes. The 0.36-acre property is located outside of city limits and
includes a dilapidated manufactured home and small lean-to. The property has remained
in the County's inventory since time of acquisition.
In the May 2023 Supreme Court ruling of the Tyler v. Hennepin County case, the Court
unanimously held that Minnesota's practice of retaining surplus proceeds from tax -
forfeited property sales violated the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause. Historically, Oregon
Revised Statute has directed counties to utilize sales proceeds to reimburse for expenses
incurred related to the management and supervision of a property acquired by Tax Deed
and any distribute remaining surplus proceeds to the taxing districts. Since the Supreme
Court ruling, the State of Oregon through its legislative process and most recently House
Bill 2089, and in collaboration with counties and other stakeholders, has been working to
modify statute to ensure that prior property owners have an opportunity to claim sales
proceeds as applicable.
In September 2024, Deschutes County received a letter for the Demand for Refund of Tax
Foreclosure Surplus Funds associated with said property. Kindred, LLC (Claimant),
reportedly purchased the prior property owner's rights to said property including any sales
proceeds; however, there are zero sales proceeds since the property has remained in
inventory since the time of Tax Deed.
Property Management in collaboration with County Counsel carefully reviewed the claim
and subsequent revisions and calculated specific property expenses incurred since time of
acquisition.
The Claimant has agreed to purchase said property from the County for all related costs
including back taxes, accrued interest, penalties, fees, carrying and other associated costs
for an estimated amount of $34,000.
