County schedules tax sale auction

Hamilton County will hold a tax sale auction at www.CivicSource.com beginning Monday, June 3, 8 a.m., and ending Thursday, June 6, 2 p.m.

More than 150 residential, commercial and vacant properties in Hamilton County will be included in the June auction on CivicSource.com.

A tax sale allows investors to purchase the tax title to a property, which grants possession and ownership of the property following the expiration of the redemption period.

To redeem their property, delinquent owners are statutorily required to pay investors interest. Current interest is 12 percent per annum.

The opening bid for a property includes delinquent city and county taxes, accrued interest and penalty charges, court costs and attorney fees, as well as service and title costs. The sale is open to the general public.

Direct questions to the Hamilton County trustee at 423 209-7270, or the Chancery court clerk & master’s office at 423 209-6600.
