§ 103331 Tax Redemption Payment Distribution

When a piece of land that was sold because of unpaid taxes is bought back, the money used to buy it back is split and sent to the local district based on how much of the total tax that district was owed.

Key Takeaways

  • •If a property is sold for unpaid taxes and later reclaimed, the redemption money goes back to the districts that were owed taxes.
  • •Each district gets a share that matches its part of the total tax bill for that property.
  • •The county treasurer is the one who does the splitting and sending of the money.

Example

A house in County X was sold because the owner didn't pay any taxes. The owner later pays the amount needed to get the house back.

The county treasurer will take the money the owner paid and send a share to the school district that was owed part of the tax bill. The share is calculated by looking at what portion of the total tax bill belonged to that district.
