About Tax Sales:
Said sales shall not be sold for less than two thirds (2/3) of the appraised value, or the amount of the real estate taxes, assessments, penalties, interest, and court costs, whichever is greater. On Tax Sales you may be required to pay more than the purchase price since the purchaser may be responsible for all taxes due and owed on a particular parcel, up to the point of confirmation.
Tax sales are advertised for three consecutive weeks before the sale.
Final Warning!
Large amounts of money are involved. Sales are “Buyer Beware.” You are responsible for checking out the property and judging for yourself if it is suitable for the purpose you intend.
Consult an attorney if you are in doubt! It might be the best money you ever spent.
