The annual Barton County tax sale is set for 10 a.m. Tuesday in the first floor conference room of the Barton County Courthouse. County Commissioner Kenny Schremmer will conduct the auction.
According to Barton County Treasurer Jim Jordan, there are 33 tracts up for sale. However, owners are able to redeem parcels until noon Monday.
To redeem a property, the owner needs to come to the Treasurer’s Office and pay the tax in full plus the $186 court cost, Jordan said. After that, the property will be removed from the tax sale, but there is no redemption period after the date of sale.
There are some stipulations for those wanting to bid on properties. These include:
• Persons with delinquent real estate taxes are not eligible to bid.
• Taxes are checked before being registered to bid.
• Persons with an interest in the property are not allowed to bid.
• A person with a successful bid may not convey ownership of the property back to anyone with an interest in such property for a period of 10 years. In the event this would happen, all back taxes and penalties would become due and payable in full.
• The taxes for 2018 will be the responsibility of the successful bidder of the property.
At the end of the sale, a certificate of sale will be issued to the purchaser. Forms of payment include cash, check and money order.
A fee of $21 for the first page and $17 for each additional page will be collected at that time for the filing of the deed with the Registrar of Deeds Office. A deed will be sent to the purchaser within three weeks of the sale.
