County to sell home for unpaid property taxes

Washington County Board of Commissioners held a tax deed public hearing Monday, April 26 to discuss an abandoned property located at 627 W. Idaho St. in Weiser.
 According to County records, property owner Charles Norman Flynn, who recently passed away, owed $1,540 in property taxes dating back to 2017.
 The Commission on Monday instructed Washington County Treasurer Sabrina Young to file a tax deed on the property. Subsequently, a public auction has been scheduled for July 26.
 The initial price of the property will reflect the amount of back taxes owed, including costs and fees incurred by the County during the tax deed process, according to Young who said the total initial price will not be released prior to the auction.
 Anyone with vested interested in the property, however, can still act before the auction takes place.
 “There is still an opportunity for that property to be redeemed, with a redemption deed, up until the point at which the board of county commissioners would sell that at public auction,” Young explained.
 “It would be parties of interest, with vested interest in the property, a recorded lien [against the property] or something. If it continues to go unpaid and there is no redemption deed, then it will be available for bidding at auction.”
 It is a function of the board of county commissioners, per statute, to conduct the auction, which is administered by the prosecuting attorney’s office.
 “We will publish a notice about the auction in the newspaper as it gets closer,” Young said.
