Can prospective purchasers be placed on a list to be notified when sales are to be held?
No. We received requests from many people to be notified when sales are to be conducted. It is not feasible to notify a long list of persons when property is to be sold. Persons who are interested in tax sales should check the paper, the County Courthouse Bulletin Board, or the County web site. • If a person is interested in a specific property on which there are delinquent taxes, will the Tax Collector file a foreclosure action to have the property sold? Yes. There are many properties on which taxes remain unpaid and often the amount of taxes outstanding is relatively small. There are significant costs in bringing a foreclosure action including court costs, advertising costs, and other legal fees. The balance of unpaid taxes and interest are also included. In addition, there is the time factor involved in bringing each suit to a conclusion. Most of the outstanding taxes ( more than 98%) are collected by personnel in the Tax Collector’s office without the necessity of a foreclosure act
