As of the morning of Friday, August 14th, 101 properties are listed for the Grundy County Annual Delinquent Tax Sale later this month. The sale will begin at the courthouse in Trenton the morning of August 24th at 10 o’clock.
Properties with three years of back taxes due are offered in what is called the first sale. Those with four years of back taxes due are available for the second sale. Properties with five years of delinquent taxes are offered as a third sale.
