Flat Rock authorizes tax foreclosure proceedings on three Staton Woods parcels
Summary
The council authorized the tax collector to begin foreclosure proceedings on three Staton Woods parcels identified by PINs 9905694, 9905695 and 9905697 after the owner was delinquent for two years and unresponsive; the motion passed unanimously on May 14, 2026.
The Village of Flat Rock council on May 14 authorized the village tax collector to begin foreclosure proceedings on three parcels in the Staton Woods subdivision identified by Parcel Identification Numbers 9905694, 9905695 and 9905697.
Mayor Anne G. Coletta made the motion to authorize Carol Richard, named in the minutes as the village tax collector, to initiate In Rem foreclosure because the records show the current owner had been delinquent on village property taxes for the past two years and did not respond to repeated outreach by email and certified mail. Council Member Jeter seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote.
The publicly posted tax-status notes accompanying the meeting record identify several delinquent accounts the tax office is monitoring. A separate entry in the tax notes references three unbuildable properties and requests In Rem foreclosure for those parcels, reporting a combined amount due of $236.40 for those accounts; the minutes do not explicitly tie that named taxpayer to the three Staton Woods PINs listed in the foreclosure motion, so the council authorization is recorded only for the three PINs listed in the motion.
The minutes record that the tax collector will proceed with the foreclosure process; no attorney engagement or final sale timeline was recorded in the minutes. The council did not record any public comment on the foreclosure authorization at the meeting.
