Tax Auction Sparks Debate Over Value and Greed in County
Montecito Industrial Park on Urbana Pike sold for just over 1 million as bidders faced back taxes and 12 percent interest rules. County officials noted 500000 in overdue taxes went to the treasury, while critics argued buyers overpaid for properties and risked losing value if owners redeem. Investors described as “greedy” questioned fair market value, with an analyst noting bids reflect loan costs and 12 percent returns.

He proposes using general fund capital allotments then reimbursing them after sales. Critics call the plan a wild guess as offers and outcomes remain uncertain.
