Three Properties Sold At Annual TCB Upset Sale
Just three properties from an initial list of more than 200 were sold for non-payment of taxes during Monday’s Potter County Tax Claim Bureau (TCB) annual “upset sale.” Mohawk Road and Gun Club in Wharton Township was sold for $6,500. A property owned by Robert Mack on Crippen Road in West Branch Township also went for $6,500. Additionally, a camp in Ulysses Township owned by Cynthia Hanes was sold for $15,500. Proceeds from the sales will be divided by the TCB between the school district, township and county.
Typically, many properties offered at the upset sale attract little or no interest due to liens, mortgages, judgments and other title encumbrances. The five that did not sell on Monday will be offered via a judicial sale. If no bids are received, they will be placed in the county repository.
