Property sold for delinquent taxes may be redeemed within one year from the issuance of a Certificate as follows:
Please notify the collector’s office at least 2 business days prior to the date you will be redeeming. We recommend scheduling an appointment and allowing thirty minutes for processing of paperwork.
Pay the purchaser the amount of the Certificate of Purchase plus 10% annual interest.
Pay the purchaser the amount of subsequent year’s taxes paid plus 8% annual interest.
Reimburse the purchaser the amount of the title search fee.
Reimburse the purchaser the amount of the recording fee.
Property may be redeemed by the owner of record, or anyone with an interest in the property. Any tax sale bid amount which resulted in a surplus amount above the delinquent taxes and sales costs paid by the Certificate of Purchase holder is available for the owner of record. Anyone wishing to receive surplus money in Andrew County must apply in person to the Andrew County Commission.
After redeeming property, by statute, the Certificate of Redemption must be recorded.
The collector’s office will notify the Certificate of Purchase holder when the property has been redeemed. The Certificate of Purchase must be surrendered to the collector before the holder will be reimbursed the bid amount plus interest. The collector will deliver a county check to the Certificate of Purchase holder for the redeemed amount.
