Anderson county officials have set October 10th as the date for Anderson county’s foreclosure sale of tax delinquent properties, but the number of those properties has been cut by 22 from an original legal publication published in early July. The sale will be held at 1:30 that afternoon at the Anderson county extension office. The original 52 properties owed some $194,000 in delinquent taxes. City officials estimate at the time of the initial publication about 10 percent of the affected owners typically pay when they receive final notifications, and about another 10 percent pay when the publication hits the newspaper. Over 45 thousand dollars was collected from the 22 properties. The county’s last tax sale was in 2016 and Anderson county commissioners have pressed over the past decade or so to hold tax sales more frequently in order to get the extra tax money.
