As many as 141 properties are to be offered for sale next Monday, August 22nd, when the annual Grundy County delinquent tax sale is held.
The sale begins at 10 o’clock that morning at the Grundy County Courthouse.
Owners can still have their properties removed from Mondays’ sale by going to the collector-treasurer office in the Grundy County Courthouse (second floor) before 4:30 Friday and paying the back taxes plus interest and penalties.
Of the 141 to be offered at the public sale, 49 are listed for the first time; 33 for the second time; 17 for the third sale; 19 for the fourth sale; five for the fifth sale; and 16 for the sixth year of sales.
