Purchase County-Owned Land

[Peter U.]

Long story short, there are three parcels of land behind my house that are owned by the county. They went to upset sale and judicial sale but no one bought them. The parcels are basically useless to anyone else... they border other small parcels that are essentially landlocked. The parcels total about .5 acres and they all border each other as well as the land my house is on.

There is a form on the county site that can be used to bid on the land.

My question is... how do you decide what to bid for land like this? Does the assessed value come into play?

Thanks in advance for the help.
