TAX LIEN SALES

IN NORTHWEST OHIO, LUCAS COUNTY PLANS TO SELL DELINQUENT TAX DEBT TO OUTSIDE INVESTORS…SOMETHING IT HASN'T DONE IN DECADES. 
OFFICIALS HAVE IDENTIFIED 407 PROPERTIES WITH NEARLY $3.7 MILLION IN UNPAID TAXES. ALL ARE OWNED BY PEOPLE OR COMPANIES OUTSIDE OF LUCAS COUNTY. COUNTY TREASURER LINDSAY WEBB SAYS THAT THE COUNTY WILL USE THE MONEY IT COLLECTS TO GO TOWARD LOCAL SCHOOLS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, AND OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES.
