2024 DELINQUENT REAL ESTATE LAND SALE – Attention Property Owner

Our 2024 Delinquent Tax Sale is approaching. If you are 2 or more years (2022 & Prior) delinquent on your Real Estate taxes, please remit payment ASAP. Payment cannot be made with a personal or company check.

The first publication of our delinquent lands list will be published in the Richmond Daily News on July 26, 2024. If you do not want your property listed in the newspaper, it must be paid on or before July 19, 2024.

If you have a deposit on your delinquent real estate, that will not keep it from going to tax sale.

Please call the office if you have any questions.
