Our County Sheriff recently sold a house trailer at auction to satisfy a tax lien. By the time the expenses of the sale were deducted, the sale netted the county $92.84.
 

They most likely just wanted the liability gone. What would it cost the county to get it moved and disposed of?
 
Truth be told, we forgave the rest of the taxes just to be rid of the situation.
 
Probably did not clear that with the expense of the public notices and man hours dealing with the situation by the court house staff and sheriffs office arranging for auction. Paper work is costly, but must be done to satisfy the legal system. As it should be. gobble
 

Years ago our town had a property that was taken for taxes, that had a run down house on it. A young guy that lived there was a complete jerk, and a constant irritation to many people including the police. One time when the judge sent him away on a vacation the town took action. On a week day when few people were around and there was a bad snow storm, we burned the place down. When he came back a couple months later, no house. Problem gone.

Please do not take this as being judgmental. I do understand where you are coming from and have had similar thoughts about certain folks but never acted on them. I would like to ask this rhetorical question as food for thought "Does two wrongs make it right?"

Please advise what, in your estimation, our town did wrong.
 


A few years ago a woman bought a mobile home at a tax sale because she wanted it to rent. It cost several thousand dollars to get the wireing up to code. I doubt if she has ever made enough money to pay all the expenses, plus get a profit from the rent.

I don't believe that you can evict someone who doesn't have the right to be there. As I said originally the house was run down. It had no value and was a liability to the town.
 
We had a guy here who died while behind on taxes. He had bought a half lot next to his home and never had the properties combined. The half lot was about a year from being seized for taxes. His son inherited the house then found out about the half lot. He went to a lawyer who told him just let em take it and then buy it at the sheriffs auction. Wound up being about 1/2 of what the owed taxes were.
