Property committee forwards tax-delinquent parcels to Marquette County board
Summary
The Marquette County Property Committee voted to forward several tax-delinquent parcels — including parcels in Pacwocki, Montel, Newton and Westfield — to the county board for foreclosure action after staff reported nonpayment and members amended the motion to add additional parcels if unpaid.
The Marquette County Property Committee voted to forward a list of tax-delinquent parcels to the county board for possible tax-foreclosure action after staff reported several owners had not paid. The committee approved the motion as amended to include two additional parcels that would be forwarded if payments were not received.
Treasurer staff read a list of four parcels that remained unpaid and noted that at least one owner typically pays at the last minute. A committee member moved to forward specific parcels — including a parcel in the town of Pacwocki (partial number 02200473 000000) and a parcel in the city of Montel (parcel number 25100387 000000, listed at 116 Main Street) — to the county board. That motion was seconded.
Committee members discussed follow-up steps for properties that are in probate or for owners who have indicated they would pay. Members proposed and seconded an amendment to add parcels in the town of Newton (parcel numbers 01800706000000 known as W4466 Duck Creek Lane and 01800711000000 with land and improvements) to the referral list if they did not pay. A further amendment to include a Westfield parcel (parcel number 19100500 000000, known as 237 East 7th Street in the town of Westville) if it remained unpaid was also adopted.
After discussion, the chair called for a voice vote and the motion, as amended, was approved. The transcript records the motion was approved but does not include a roll-call tally of votes by name.
The committee also briefly discussed whether any of the parcels would require lawn mowing and whether probate had been completed for deceased owners; staff advised checking probate status before advancing parcels to the county board.
No members of the public had signed in to comment on the item.
The committee did not specify exact next dates for county-board action; staff indicated the parcels would be forwarded for consideration by the county board.
