Tax Deed Properties

The goals of the County’s Tax Deed Program are as follows:

To return tax delinquent properties to the tax roles as soon as possible, thereby generating additional tax revenue and limiting County liability and maintenance costs
To recover all immediate county costs involved in the maintenance and disposition of tax deed properties
To effectively complement County and City development needs wherever possible
To recoup lost taxes, penalties, interest, and liens
To generate additional revenue for the County through the sale and/or rent of these properties

Properties in this program are unsold remainders of the Scott County Treasurer's Office Tax Sale Program where the parcels have been advertised and offered for sale for two consecutive years.
