Treasurer reports four parcels sold at 2026 tax sale; commission approves report
Summary
The treasurer's office reported that aggressive outreach reduced an initial list of about 64 delinquent parcels to four parcels sold at auction (sale prices reported as $44,001; $41,500; $31,000; $7,600); one parcel was deferred and the commission approved the tax sale report.
The Carbon County treasurer reported on the 2026 tax sale and steps taken to contact owners of delinquent parcels. Staff said the office started with roughly 64 parcels, worked to contact owners and reduced the list to five and ultimately four parcels sold at auction; one parcel was deferred because the owner was making payment efforts.
The treasurer summarized sale results and the administrative fee process (minimum bids include taxes owed plus a $400 administrative fee to cover notifications, title searches, and newspaper ads required by state code). Reported sale prices were $44,001; $41,500; $31,000; and $7,600. Commissioners thanked staff for outreach and approved the tax sale report on motion.
Officials said excess funds from sales, after taxes and fees, are sent to the state treasurer's office for unclaimed property procedures; the county retains taxes and the administration fee.
