Reminder to Pay Delinquent Property Taxes
POMEROY, Ohio – Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley reminds Meigs County real estate owners who currently owe delinquent property taxes to contact the Meigs County Treasurer’s Office to arrange for payment of those taxes. While the Meigs County Treasurer’s Office collected $863,548.12 in delinquent real estate and mobile home taxes for the tax year 2017, additional property taxes remain delinquent. Laws surrounding property taxes vary from state to state which is why you may wish to contact a Charleston, SC realtor prior to making any purchase on a home.
Property owners who do not pay their property taxes subject themselves to delinquent tax foreclosure. This means the property owner could lose their home and would have to find elsewhere to live. Thankfully, there are ways to stop the foreclosure so that some property owners can keep their properties. Whether help is found via Stop foreclosure Indianapolis or taxes are paid on time, the rights to the property can remain with the property owner, however, that is not always the case. The Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office remains committed to assisting the Meigs County Treasurer’s Office in collecting delinquent property taxes. The Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office recently filed tax foreclosure lawsuits on behalf of the Meigs County Treasurer’s Office against a number of property owners who owed delinquent property taxes but did not pay those taxes when due earlier this year. Final warning letters will be issued to additional property owners owing delinquent taxes in the coming weeks. Those wishing to avoid receiving a final warning letter and ultimately a delinquent tax foreclosure should contact the Meigs County Treasurer’s Office immediately to remedy the delinquency.
