What happens if a property owner’s taxes become delinquent?

By state law, each June the County Treasurer’s Office mails a delinquency notice to the assessed property owner for any tax bill 30 days or more delinquent. The notice informs the owner that if the taxes on real property, including penalty and interest charges, are not paid within two years from the date of delinquency, the property will be sold at state public auction. For owners of mobile homes and personal property, the notice states that the property is subject to seizure and subsequent sale after six months from the date of delinquency.
