Foreclosures and Tax Lien Sales

Here's an overview of tax certificate sales in Madison County:

Madison County conducts tax certificate sales as a means of collecting overdue property taxes. When property owners fail to pay their taxes, the county offers these tax certificates for sale to the public. The certificates represent a lien on the property, and purchasers essentially pay the delinquent taxes on behalf of the property owner. In return, they receive the right to collect the owed amount plus interest from the property owner. This process not only helps the county recover unpaid taxes but also provides investors with an opportunity to earn interest on their investment. If the property owner does not settle the debt within a designated period, the certificate holder may have the option to initiate foreclosure proceedings to obtain the property.
