If you would like to bid on over 400 surplus properties for sale due to properties that were delinquent for 2017 and prior real estate taxes, your chance will be at a live auction, Monday October 4th, 6 PM, at VFW Post 728, 8 Pine Street in Danville.
However, if you cannot be live at that auction and want to put in a pre-written bid, you have until Monday at 5 PM to do that. Auction Manager Kim Wildhaber explains how that works.
AUDIO: Most of the time they come to the actual auction. That (the pre-written bids) is just in case they cannot make it to the auction, they have a chance of pre-bidding to make sure they get a bid in. What happens is, whatever pre-written bid we have, that’s where the bidding would start on the night of the auction.
Now the office is actually downstate in Edwardsville, so any pre-bids need to be mailed very soon. They would go to Vermilion County Tax Agent’s Office, Box 96 in Edwardsville, 62025. By the way sale catalogs are available at the County Treasurer’s Office in Danville, or online at www.iltaxsale.com.
