Information for Current Owners of Property in This Year's Sale
ALL DATES ARE TENTATIVE AT THIS TIME
The following schedule applies to payments made to the Treasurer by property owners wanting to prevent their parcels from being sold in this year's Tax Sale. The owner must make payment by cash, by any Certified Check, by any Cashier's Check, or by any Official Check that is issued by a financial institution. NO MONEY ORDERS, PERSONAL CHECKS, OR BUSINESS CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
August 20, 2007 through October 16, 2007 – Owners must pay all delinquent taxes, penalties, and delinquent special assessments due on their parcel(s) plus the total amount of Tax Sale Administrative Cost;
October 17, 2007 – No payments will be accepted on Tax Sale items so that the Treasurer can make necessary preparation for the conduct of the sale to begin on October 18, 2007;
October 18, 2007, and after – Owners must pay all delinquent taxes, penalties, delinquent special assessments, plus the November 2007 tax installment, plus the November 2007 solid waste service fee (if applicable), plus other current special assessments (if applicable), plus the Tax Sale Administrative Cost. If the parcel is sold before the owner makes the full payment, the owner will have to wait to redeem the parcel through the Marion County Auditor's office until approximately one week after the parcel has been sold.
Payments made by owners on the dates of public auction (October 18, 19, and 24) must be in full – no part payments – and will be collected by the Treasurer after 8:00 a.m. on the 10th floor room 1001 of the City-County Building.
Prior to October 17th, owners may make part payments toward the minimum sale price. There is no minimum amount of part payment required. After payment of the Tax Sale Advertising Fee (which is included in the Administrative Cost), any part payments made will reduce the minimum bid amount and will save total redemption costs to the owner if the property is sold.
If a "C" item is not sold at the Tax Sale and the owner does not pay all charges due on the parcel, the Metropolitan Development Commission may request a Tax Deed from the County Auditor 120 days after the sale ends. If a "A" item is not sold at the Tax Sale and the owner does not pay all charges due on the parcel, the County may request a Tax Deed 120 days after the sale ends.
