'It's difficult. It's just difficult. I love my home. I love my neighbors. ... This was my nest egg, you know? That's why I paid cash for it. This is where I was going to retire.'
According to theAir Force veteran Jim Boerner purchased the yellow mobile home two years ago. Boerner, who is unable to work due to brain and spinal injuries that occurred during a training exercise at an Air Force base in Mississippi, paid for the home in cash.
Arizona state law defines mobile homes as personal property and allows for a home to be auctioned if the property tax payment is a day late. For single-family homes, owners have two years to pay the owed taxes before the residence is auctioned off. Additionally, the individual or company who purchases the home must wait three years to obtain the taxes and any interest owed before the former homeowner can be evicted following foreclosure.
"There's nothing serious you would need to be worried about as far as the home being in any danger or anything like that," an employee for the county-call center said to Boerner in a recording obtained by theBoerner said he was transferred to the sheriff's office and told he owed $641. Of that amount, $405 was from 2017. Boerner also asked if he would be kicked out of his home"between now and June 30.
The conversation that followed included Boerner calling the treasurer's office to ask what happened and then offered Patron $5,000 to buy the home back. Patron countered with $30,000, which Boerner said was more than he could afford. Patron later offered the home for $26,000 and then $52,000.
