Commissioner Champion took time to explain to the public during the BOCC meeting on Oct. 10, 2017 that the county is looking to sell 64 properties through tax deed sales. He stated that many of these properties are located in the Royal Highlands and Southern Hills developments and are being offered very cheaply (in the range of $1000). He explained that the county does not wish to hold property. The county recently hired the Higgenbotham Auctioneers firm to sell off property.
The tax deed sales will take place Oct. 18, 2017. You may search the properties for salae at: https://or.hernandoclerk.com/TaxSmart/
The sales are held online at www.hernando.realtaxdeed.com. Property is auctioned to the highest bidder.
The highest bidder is required to pay a non-refundable cash deposit of 5% of the bid or $200.00, whichever is greater. The remaining balance of the purchase price must be received within 24 hours of sale. Purchase price is payable at the Clerk’s Office by cashier’s check, money order or cash; personal checks are not accepted for the bid amount. When considering tax deed properties, please be advised that ALL PROPERTIES ARE SOLD “BUYER BEWARE”.
