Whiteside County, as Trustee, has completed their tax deed proceedings on real estate properties that were delinquent for 2014 and prior real estate taxes. The County, as Trustee, will now offer for sale the real estate obtained to the public. They will offer approximately 24 items through a sealed bid auction sale. All sealed bids must be in the Whiteside County Treasurer’s Office, located in the Whiteside County Courthouse, 200 E. Knox Street, Morrison, IL 61270, no later than the close of business on Wednesday, July 27, 2018.
The sale of these lots should be a major benefit to both the Taxing Districts and the neighboring property owners. This sale will place the properties into the hands of individuals who have an interest in owning them. The County, as Trustee, hopes that these new owners will both maintain the property and keep the real estate taxes paid. By eliminating abandoned properties, the appearance of the neighborhood should improve and the value of adjoining properties should increase.
The required minimum bid is just $793 per item. All items will be sold to the highest sealed bid received on or before July 27, 2018. Complete bidder’s packets and sale catalogs are now available at the Whiteside County Treasurer’s Office or online at www.iltaxsale.com.
