7 Things You Need To Know
About The Tax Collector’s or
Treasurer’s Office
The Tax Collector (or in some counties
the Treasurer) is responsible for
collecting the taxes for the county. They
take the information the Assessor gives
them about a property’s value and send out the tax bills. Then
they collect what is owed. If a property owner doesn’t pay their
tax bill, the tax collector will notify the homeowner that they are
in default. The state statutes will determine how long a person
can be in default before the county needs to take additional
action to collect what is owed.
The tax collector or treasurer is responsible for having the list of
delinquent tax properties published in the newspaper. The
property of homeowners who still don’t come forward and pay
their taxes will be put into the tax auction. The tax collector or
treasurer will then conduct the tax sale of delinquent properties
once the determined length of time has passed.
Here’s What You Need to Know from the Tax Collector’s or
Treasurer’s Office:
1)Has The Property Redeemed?
The first thing you want to do is make sure that the property
taxes haven’t been paid since the list was published. You don’t
want to waste your valuable time researching a property that is
no longer delinquent.

Some counties will update the list each time they publish in the
newspaper. Other counties create the list once and just republish
it even though some properties have been redeemed.
Once the list of delinquent tax
properties has been published,
some counties then create a new
list with the properties that have
been redeemed. So you will need
to cross-reference the two lists.
Some counties just post the
newspaper list in their office and
cross off properties that have been
redeemed. Other counties will let you look at their list of
redemptions or look up the tax ID number on their computer to
see if a property has been redeemed. Ask the county what their
process is for finding out if a property has been redeemed.
2) How Much Is Owed At The Auction?
You also want to find out the full amount of back taxes that
are owed and if there are any other fees that must be paid.
Ask in the tax collector’s office if the amount listed in the
paper is what you will have to pay. Sometimes there are
additional taxes that have accrued since the list was
created; it may be a small amount of money, but you want
to be clear on exactly how much you need to pay at the
auction. Some counties also charge a small fee for creating
the certificate.
3) Get The Auction Rules
Make sure you get a copy of the auction rules in writing. The
rules should tell you how you need to pay (cash, personal
check, cashier’s check), how the bidding will be conducted,

5.

whether you need to register ahead of time, if you need to
put any money down as a deposit before the auction starts,
how long the property owner has to redeem, whether liens
fall off, the amount of interest you receive, etc. Auction rules
can vary in size and amount of detail. A Vermont sale had
one page of rules; a Hillsborough County Florida sale had
11pages.
4) Get The Specifics For The Auction
Find out the date, time, and location of the auction. Is it one
day, or if they don’t get through all the properties does it
continue over successive days
until the list is finished? Is it in
the county building? Do they
break for lunch or continue
the auction nonstop
throughout the day? You want
to know all this information,
so you can come to the
auction prepared.
5)Find The Property And Property Owner’s Address
Get the address of the property.
Sometimes the property address is
included in the published list, but it may
not be. Also get the owner’s address. It is
useful to know if the owner lives in the
property or not.
6) Is There A Homestead Exemption?
Find out if this county provides a
homestead exemption and if so, what
does it mean for you purchasing tax liens

or tax deeds. If the county does have a homestead
exemption, find out how you can tell if a property has a
homestead exemption on it. Also check to see how it affects
the properties you are interested in. For example, does it
affect the minimum bid, or extend the redemption date?
7) Is There Any Other Information You Can Tell Me About
The Auction Process?
Ask the official in the Tax Collector’s office if there is
anything else you should know about the tax auction or the
properties. Often they can tell you roughly how many people
show up for the auction or how long the auction process
takes. Sometimes they can even tell you who the most
active bidders are and when they usually show up at the
auction.
