Delinquent Real Estate properties in Knox County for 2019 and prior years are up for auction. There are approximately 75 items through a sealed bid auction and sealed written bids must be in the Knox County Treasurer’s Office before close of business on October 20, 2023. The Knox County Courthouse is located at 200 S Cherry Street, Galesburg, Illinois, 61401. All online bids must be submitted via www.iltaxsalebids.com no later than the close of business on October 20, 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.
The required minimum bid is just $832.00 per item. All items will be sold to the highest sealed bid received on or before October 20, 2023. Complete bidder’s packets and sale catalogs are now available at the Knox County Treasurer’s Office or online at www.iltaxsale.com.
