Real Estate Tax Sale

All parcels that have a balance due from the spring of the prior year or before (three installments behind) will be on the tax sale list.  A certified letter will be mailed to each taxpayer who is on the tax sale list. The tax sale list is published in the local newspaper three times prior to the sale. A $125 tax sale charge is added to each parcel on the list.
 
The Tax Sale list also appears on SRI's website. (www.SRIservices.com). SRI is the company that conducts the tax sale.
