Treasurer's Property Tax Lien Sale

The tax lien sale is the final step in the Treasurer's efforts to collect taxes on real property. The tax lien sale allows taxing authorities to receive their budgeted revenue without having to wait for delinquent taxes to be collected. Delinquent taxes are sold, the property is not. Property owners have three years to redeem the tax lien before the investor is eligible to apply for a treasurer’s deed on the property. This year’s internet sale will be held Nov. 8-9. More information can be found on the Treasurer's Tax Lien Sale page.

Special Assessments

  • Special assessments for delinquent fees, rates, tolls, penalties and sewer and water charges must be recorded with the County Clerk then certified to the Jefferson County Treasurer no later than the end of business on November 1 (or next business day if the first falls on a weekend).
  • Once the assessment has been submitted to the Treasurer, no collection should be accepted by the entity placing the lien and no changes or deletions to the files will be permitted after submission to the Treasurer. 
  • TITLE COMPANIES:  No payments will be accepted by the Treasurer's office until after January 1, 2022.  We do not accept prepayments for SPA's. These assessments will need to be held in escrow at closing and paid to the Jefferson County Treasurer in 2022.  Be sure to include the required treasurer collection fees.  
  • Special assessments will be included on the tax roll for the ensuing year and collected in the same manner and at the payment dates as the property taxes.
  • More detailed information, fees and where to submit your assessment file can be found Special Assessment Collection Procedures (PDF)
