KANE COUNTY TO HOLD TAX SALE

 

 

Kane County will hold its annual Tax Sale on Monday and Tuesday, October 29th & 30th, 2012.  The Tax Sale will start at 9 a.m.  It will be held at the Kane County Government Center, building (A), 719 South Batavia Avenue, Geneva, Illinois.  You must register to participate.  Registration will begin September 17, 2012, and end October 12, 2012. Registration entitles you to one seat in the board room.  All registrations received before or after this time will be returned (no exceptions).

 

We advertise delinquent taxes in the local newspapers approximately three (3) weeks prior to the Sale.  A $500 deposit is required with your registration,  ($450.00 being applied toward any items purchased at the Sale and $50.00 toward the cost of the Tax Sale list).  There will be no refunds of deposits, unless you request a refund, in person, at the Treasurer’s office while the Sale is in progress.  If you do not attend the Sale then you forfeit this money.

 

Please note the boardroom will be cleared at 8 a.m. the day of the Sale.  There will be no advantage for a Buyer to show up before 8 a.m.; also there is no advantage to seating arrangements in the board room.  Every effort is made to ensure that a fair opportunity is given to all Buyers.  Please be considerate to the Treasurer, Staff and other Bidders.  All decisions of the Treasurer are final.  Inappropriate behavior towards the Treasurer, Staff or other Buyers may result in your removal from the Sale.

 

Please note that participating in the Sale involves significant risk.  The Tax Sale procedures are outlined in the Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 35 Act 200.  Please do not ask Treasurer’s staff for legal or bidding advice.  If you need advice please contact an attorney specializing in Tax Sale procedures.
