payment from you. • Show good faith by making payments. Most governments require owners to make annual payments, plus the interest accumulated from the delinquent tax. If you default on the plan, the government will likely foreclose the property and auction it off to recover the owed amount. • While a payment plan might be a great idea for people having difficulty paying off their current property taxes, the same thing might not apply to those who have fallen behind and have a considerable amount accumulated in delinquency taxes, fees, penalties, and costs. • Before deciding if a payment plan is appropriate for you, be sure to understand what the entire owed sum amounts to, as well as how interest will continue to accrue. It’s important to understand whether you’ll be able to afford to make the payments, as required.
AUCTION THE HOME
Auctioning homes is steadily becoming more and more popular around the country, especially for those who are pressed by financial or personal matters to let go of the house and close a fast deal. People auction their homes in the hope of obtaining a fast sale at a reasonable price, close to the market value of the property. The timelines for house auctions vary. Auctioneers usually need around 40 days to effectively promote the house prior to the auction date. The final settlement might be signed anywhere in the following 40 days. The fact is, equity is frequently lost, as most homes up for auction generally sell far below market value.
