County collects on delinquent properties
NORWICH – The tentative total taken in following Chenango County’s tax sale this year covered the amount that was owed in back taxes, penalties and interest plus some.
The June 25 sale resulted in bids on 53 properties throughout the county that were in arrears for taxes, penalties and interest totaling $278,180.12. The county netted $150,696 on the sale minus staff, title search and other costs incurred by the county’s Real Property Tax office.
Treasurer William Evans reported last Friday that the amount was “a moving total” and could change with forfeiture.
A 5.5 acre trailer park in Afton that had been flooded out and abandoned since 2006 was among the properties that changed hands. Chenango County awarded the high bid of $10,888.88 to neighbors Andrea and Todd Burns who plan to turn the site into an RV park.
Four trailers, included wells and septic systems, were destroyed when record high waters damaged much of the region. Afton Supervisor Robert Briggs said the property had been in litigation for some time.
“We are happy as heck to see it’s getting cleaned up. People stripped the siding, pulled the plumbing out and left the insulation hanging. Our hands were tied legally pretty much,” he said.
Chenango County took over ownership of the Rt. 26 property in April.
