1. When is the foreclosure sale?: The 2020 auction will be held online with Bid4Assets facilitating the auction. The auction will open at 8:30 am on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 and close on Wednesday, November 18, 2020. A re-offer auction of properties will be held on Tuesday, December 1, 2020. Visit the Bid4Assets website for additional information including auction closing times.

2. Will my credit suffer if I just let my property go to a foreclosure sale?: Delinquent tax information is not reported to any credit bureau. Your name will appear in the foreclosure publication of delinquent taxes in the Legal Notices of the official county paper in mid-September.

3. Why are you notifying me now that my taxes have been delinquent for several years?: The office sends out a tax statement to the last known address of the taxpayer each February. If the statement is returned because of an incorrect address, we then research all available resources to try to find the current address. The statement lists current and delinquent taxes owing. If you have not received a tax statement, please call the office at 253 798-6111 to request one or to ask for the amount due. It is the taxpayer's responsibility to provide address change information.
