Sec. 20. A county desiring to have a building erected or renovated on land owned or to be acquired by the county may sell that land or building to the authority. Before the sale may take place, the county commissioners shall file a petition with the circuit court, superior court, or probate court of the county requesting the appointment of:
(1) one (1) disinterested freeholder of the county as an appraiser; and

who are residents of Indiana to determine the fair market value of the land or building. One (1) of the appraisers described under subdivision (2) must reside not more than fifty (50) miles from the land or building. Upon appointment, the appraisers shall fix the fair market value of the land or building and shall report that value within two (2) weeks after the date of their appointment. The county may then sell the land or building to the authority for an amount not less than the amount fixed by the appraisers as the fair market value. The amount shall be paid in cash upon delivery of the deed by the county to the authority. If a cumulative building fund exists at the time of the sale, the proceeds from the sale shall be placed in that fund.
