From the Elkhart Truth:
Elkhart County's auction for properties that have back taxes owed to the county is less than a week away.
As of Thursday, there were 1,175 pieces of land listed for the upcoming property tax sale, which will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday. The properties have back taxes adding up to $7.1 million.
Elkhart County Treasurer Larry Ernest said the county started off with roughly 1,600 parcels up for auction, but some landowners have paid their taxes to remove their properties from the sale. Ernest noted that landowners have until noon Monday to get up to date on their property taxes using cash or a certified check.
The tax sale will be held at the Elkhart County Administration Building, 117 N. Second St., Goshen.
