Bethel to Auction Three Deliquent Properties in May
The town will be auctioning three properties that owe a collective $78,000 in taxes.
The town of Bethel will be holding a public auction on May 2 for three properties in arrears on taxes.
Property owners have until the auction to pay the delinquent tax bills, otherwise the properties will be sold to the highest bidder as-is.
Bidders must present $5,000 in cash or certified check per property, payable to “Pullman & Comley, Trustee” on the day of the sale.
The winning bidder must pay the balance of the sale price within 5 days or forfeit that deposit.
If the properties sell at auction, their current owners will have the “right of redemption” for 6 months, allowing them to buy back the land for the price paid at auction (plus costs and interest at 18 percent). If not redeemed, the winning bidder will take possession of the property “free and clear.”
The auction starts at 10 a.m. on May 2.
