Sec. 26. (a) A county desiring to erect or renovate a building on land owned or to be acquired by the county may sell land or a building, or both to the authority. Before the sale may take place, the county executive, with the approval of the county fiscal body, shall file a petition with the circuit court of the county requesting the appointment of:
(1) one (1) disinterested freeholder of the county as an appraiser; and
(2) two (2) disinterested appraisers licensed under IC 25-34.1;
who are residents of Indiana to determine the fair market value of the land and buildings. One (1) of the appraisers described under subdivision (2) must reside not more than fifty (50) miles from the land. The appraisers shall fix the fair market value of the land and buildings and report not more than two (2) weeks after the date of the appraisers' appointment. The county may sell the land and buildings to the authority for an amount not less than the amount fixed as the fair market value by the appraisers. The amount shall be paid in cash upon delivery of the deed by the county to the authority.
(b) If a cumulative building fund exists at the time of the sale under IC 16-12-16 (before its repeal on July 1, 1993), IC 16-12.1-4-4 (before its repeal on July 1, 1993), or IC 16-22-5, the proceeds from the sale shall be placed in the fund. If a cumulative building fund does not exist at the time of the sale, the proceeds from the sale shall be paid into the county hospital fund and the principal and interest shall be used for the purposes set forth in IC 16-22-5. A sale of land or buildings, or both, by a county to the authority shall be authorized by the county executive by an order entered in the official records of the county executive. The deed shall be executed on behalf of the county by the county executive.
