County Tax Sale Scheduled
Will County, as Trustee, has completed their tax deed proceedings on real estate properties that were delinquent for 2019 and prior real estate taxes. The County, as Trustee, will now offer for sale to the public the real estate obtained.
They will offer approximately 280 items through a sealed bid auction sale. All sealed written bids must be in the Will County Treasurer’s Office located in the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, Illinois 60432 no later than the close of business on September 22, 2023. All online bids must be submitted via www.iltaxsalebids.com no later than the close of business on September 22, 2023.
The sale of these lots should be a major benefit to both the Taxing Districts and the neighboring property owners. This sale will place the properties into the hands of individuals who have an interest in owning them. The County, as Trustee, hopes that these new owners will both maintain the property and keep the real estate taxes paid. By eliminating abandoned properties, the appearance of the neighborhood should improve and the value of adjoining properties should increase.
