Summary
Treasurer's office reported $505,284.69 collected in October 2025 and year-to-date collections of $7,759,066.43, an increase of $2,082,235.02 over 2024; auction results included bids of $3,071,209 and one unsold parcel that may result in a county loss.
The Greene County treasurer’s office summarized tax-collection and foreclosure-auction results during the Nov. 17 meeting, reporting October 2025 delinquent-tax collections of $505,284.69 and year‑to‑date collections of $7,759,066.43 — an increase of $2,082,235.02 compared with the same period in 2024.
Treasury staff (identified in discussion as Pete) said the county’s outstanding delinquent-tax total as of Oct. 25 was $9,008,381.66, up $135,131.17 from Oct. 2024. Sales-tax receipts through Nov. 13, 2025 were reported at $43,392,822.15, a 5.07% increase versus the comparable 2024 figure.
On the foreclosure-auction results, staff reported bid totals of $3,071,209 and repurchases by taxpayers that produced a surplus above amounts owed of $2,583,949; most surplus funds will be returned through the court process after owners petition. The treasurer said one property failed to meet the amount owed (a parcel affected by a post-fire demolition) and may represent the only county loss from the auction unless a claim is filed.
Staff praised the county team for completing title searches and managing an auction process that involved roughly 50–53 parcels reaching the auction phase after extensive work to process more than 300 initial cases. Officials said they will report back with a follow-up on the top 25 delinquencies and any recommended procedural changes for future auctions.
