Wise County authorizes online auctions for tax-foreclosure and resale sales
Summary
The Court approved a resolution and rules to allow the County Tax Office to conduct online auctions for tax-foreclosure and resale sales to broaden bidder participation, with implementation targeted for the fall sale.
County Tax Assessor Monty Shaw asked the Court to allow the Tax Office to hold online auctions for tax-foreclosure and resale sales, noting that electronic bidding would broaden participation and likely increase turnout for fall sales.
Commissioner Kevin Burns moved to adopt the resolution authorizing online auctions and rules governing the process; Commissioner Colby Shawn seconded the motion, and the Court approved it unanimously. The resolution allows the Tax Assessor's Office to begin online auction procedures ahead of the next fall sale cycle and directs staff to adopt rules for online bidding, notices, and bidder authentication.
