The DC Office Of Tax and Revenue (OTR) has announced that it will hold its annual public tax sale auction of properties from July 9 - 13, 2007.

At this public auction, OTR is scheduled to sell more than $11 million in real property tax liens -- both commercial and residential -- for which property taxes remain unpaid. The Tax Sale will be held daily beginning Monday, July 9, from 8:30 am until noon and from 1 pm until 4 pm, or until all properties advertised for that day are sold, at 941 North Capitol Street, NE, 4th floor. Delinquent property owners still have time to pay the tax lien to prevent the property from being included in the auction. However, the owners must act immediately and pay all delinquent taxes.

Registration for the sale is mandatory and begins Thursday, July 5 and continues until the final day of the sale. To register, prospective bidders must make a deposit of at least 20 percent of their total bid. In addition, a $150 tax sale fee will be added to each property at the time of the sale.  To register for the Tax Sale or to inquire about the status of a delinquent property, call the OTR Customer Service Center at (202) 727-4TAX (4829) or visit the walk-in center at 941 North Capitol Street, NE, on the first floor.
