Each year, in mid-May, the City conducts an annual online tax lien certificate auction. There are several types of bills and municipal charges that, if unpaid, may result in liens that can cause properties to be included in the City’s tax sale.

If you receive a Final Bill and Legal Notice or a pre-tax sale letter in April and believe any of the lien amounts are in error, contact the issuing agency as soon as possible.
