Property Redemption
Property sold for delinquent taxes may be redeemed within one year from the issuance of a Certificate of Purchase as follows: 1. Advise the Collector's Office at least 24 hours prior to the date you will be redeeming. We recommend scheduling an appointment and allowing twenty minutes for processing. 2. Pay the Collector the amount of the Certificate of Purchase plus 10% annual interest on the tax amount. 3. Pay the Collector the amount of subsequent years taxes paid plus 8% annual interest, and pay the Collector a redemption charge of fifty cents. Property may be redeemed by the owner of record, or on the owner's behalf. Any tax sale bid amount, which resulted in a surplus amount above the delinquent taxes, and sales costs paid by the Certificate of Purchase holder is available for the owner of record. If undisputed, the surplus amount may be obtained from the Benton County Treasurer. Disputed claims are determined at a public hearing before the Benton County Commission. The Collector's Office will notify the Certificate of Purchase holder when the property has been redeemed. The Certificate of Purchase must be surrendered to the Collector before the holder will be reimbursed the bid amount plus interest. The Collector will deliver a county check to the Certificate of Purchase holder for the redeemed amount less the fifty cents redemption fee. |
