At the start of the Great Recession, 191 properties in Hamilton County plunged into tax delinquency. Now, after a requisite five years of being shuffled by courts from the private sector into county ownership, more than half of the lots are back on the tax rolls.
That’s after Hamilton County Real Property Manager Paul Parker recorded a blowout year in back-tax property sales this month.
“There was just a tremendous amount of interest and competition for the properties this year,” Parker said.
Tremendous is right.
