UT: Dip in property-tax defaults delights county’s collector

[pencilneck]

Thanks, I get it now.

Actual revenue is only up 43% over 5 years, not 300%.

I know a guy who has been in property-tax defaults since 2006. Not paying any single cent of property tax, he owes SD county over $20K by now, not including the penalties.
What will be the consequence of property-tax defaults? It seems county’s collector would rather collect the tax later for more penalties:)

I’m curious about this for purely vindictive reasons. The slimy contractor that abandoned our project is currently in default to the tune of over $14k. I’d love to see something more tangible done to him than just being listed in default for a few years. (He also has a state tax lien against him.)
I’m not surprised, he took our money and didn’t pay subs… so why would he pay tax obligations. (Like I said – I’m vindictive in my interest. Not the nicest side of my personality.)

What is the consequence for not paying your property taxes? Can the county take back your property?

I want to buy a home that was a short sale for 2 years. It is no longer on the MLS and has been vacant for 6 months. The SD County Tax site says it is processing taxes from 2008/2009 since 6/30/2009.

Does that mean a bank bought it and is paying taxes? Or did the county take the property?
