Treasurer reports corrected collections figure; county tax sale scheduled for Dec. 12

County staff reported a correction to previously reported personal-property tax collections and set a date for the county's tax sale.

Mary Rose (tax/risk staff) told commissioners that a spreadsheet quirk caused an earlier figure to be overstated. The corrected amount collected for personal-property tax was $86,542.27 (as of Sept. 18, 2025), down from a previously reported $150,000. Rose said collection efforts continue and that the tax sale for uncollected personal-property taxes is scheduled for Dec. 12, 2025, at 9:30 a.m. at the Seward County Courthouse front doors.

Rose said outside legal counsel handling ad valorem (real-property) collections may either coordinate that sale on Dec. 12 or schedule it in the first quarter of 2026 if scheduling near the holidays is impractical.

Ending: Commissioners acknowledged the corrected figures and the scheduled December sale; staff will coordinate with outside counsel and return with any changes to the schedule or additional collection updates.
