Redemption

Unpaid taxes will have additional fees applied when they become delinquent and when they become defaulted taxes. If taxes remain defaulted for 5 years after the date of default, property will become subject to the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s power of sale and can subsequently be sold at a public auction.

If you do not pay the first installment of your Secured annual tax bill at the Tax Collector's Office by 5 p.m. on December 10 (if it falls on a weekend or holiday, taxes are not delinquent until 5 p.m. the next business day.), or payment is not postmarked

by that time and date, then that installment becomes delinquent, and a 10% delinquent penalty is incurred. If you fail to pay the second installment at the Tax Collector's Office by 5 p.m. on April 10 (if it falls on a weekend or holiday, taxes are

not delinquent until 5 p.m. the next business day), or payment is not postmarked by that time and date, it becomes delinquent, and a 10% penalty on the unpaid taxes as well as an administrative charge of $10 are added. Likewise, if you fail to pay

any supplemental tax bill installment by the applicable delinquency date, the same penalties and charges accrue as for delinquent annual taxes.

If annual or supplemental secured taxes are unpaid after June 30 following the second installment due date, the taxes will be defaulted. Defaulted taxes are subject to delinquent penalties, costs, a state redemption fee, and redemption penalties (1.5% monthly interest) beginning on July 1. If taxes remain unpaid five (5) years after the date of default, the property will become subject to the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s power of sale and can subsequently be sold at a public auction.

If taxes remain unpaid for 5 years after the default date the Treasurer-Tax Collector will record power to sell and a property will be sold at public auction unless the defaulted taxes paid in full.

If you have defaulted taxes we encourage you to contact us at (209) 468-2133 and ask to speak to the redemption section so they can advise you on your tax status and options.
