property tax collections / tax leins
North Carolina General Statutes require local tax collectors to advertise annually all current year unpaid taxes levied on real estate. While we do not wish to embarrass property owners by publishing their names in the newspaper, the advertisement of property tax liens is mandatory, because it is the beginning of the foreclosure process.
The 2001 real estate taxes became past due on January 8, 2002. Our office has mailed notices to the property owners listed within this advertisement. In the case where it has been reported to us that property has been conveyed to another person, a tax notice has also been mailed to the new owner.
The list below contains the names of property owners with unpaid 2001 real estate taxes, without interest, and does not include any unpaid taxes from prior years. The advertisement of tax liens is divided into three sections. A description of the contents is shown at the beginning of each section. The amount due for each property reflects payments received in the Tax Department through March 20, 2002.
The Tax Department is currently using various collection methods such as bank and wage attachments, and will soon begin foreclosure action. Properties subject to foreclosure may be referred to an independent attorney and additional cost will be added to the taxes already owed. The additional cost for each foreclosure suit will be determined according to law.
If you have questions about the names and properties appearing in this advertisement, or want to contact us about payment of your taxes, please call the collections office at (828) 250-4910. Our office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 8:00am - 5:00pm Thursday and Friday.
