The Summit County auditor’s office announced on Wednesday it had successfully sold all five properties available at its tax sale in May.

Over 90 properties were originally listed for sale by Summit County due to failure to pay taxes. Only five of these properties were still available the day of the sale; owners of the other 85 properties had paid the owed taxes or fees prior to the May 26 public auction.

“The original number of 90 properties was more than usual,” said Summit County Deputy Auditor Kathryn Rockhill. “Five as a final number is pretty close to what we normally have.”

Past tax sales have left the county with unpurchased property, but this year all the properties were bought, many for more than what was owed on them, according to Rockhill. Money from the tax sale goes to cover taxes, interest and penalties. Any additional income generated from the purchase price goes directly to the state. Previous owners of the auctioned properties may appeal to the state to collect the additional money.

Properties that went up for sale included a 1/60th interest in a mining claim, an unfinished home in Promontory that sold for around $200,000, and three empty lots.

“We had a lot of people who showed up and were interested in purchasing the five properties,” Rockhill said of the 30 bidders who attended the tax sale.
