Vigo County reports 84 properties sold at recent tax sale; about 211 remain, including mineral-rights interests
Summary
County officials reported that 84 properties were sold at the recent tax sale; staff said about 211 properties remain on the list and that roughly 60 are mineral‑rights interests, which staff will research for taxability and legislation.
County officials gave an update on tax‑sale activity, reporting that 84 properties were sold at the most recent sale and that about 211 properties remain on the county list. Treasurer’s Office representative Alex told commissioners the sale opened with 295 properties after a handful of redemptions and that staff sold 84 last Wednesday.
Officials noted that roughly 60 of the remaining properties are mineral‑rights interests. Alex said staff plans to research state legislation and options for collecting taxes from parties receiving mineral royalties, because those owners receiving royalties should be paying property taxes on the interests.
Commissioners praised the work of the treasurer’s and auditor’s offices in streamlining the process, and county staff said they will continue reviewing the remaining properties and the status of mineral‑rights parcels.
