Officials in Clearfield County are taking action on abandoned and tax delinquent properties. According to our news partners at 10 News, Clearfield’s Chief Assessor says that there are potentially 2000 properties that could go up for judicial sale. Some of the properties are already on the market, but buyers may be more willing to bid on the house in a judicial sale, because the properties will then be free and clear of any back taxes. Commissioner John Sobel said that the sale of these properties would help the County budget, local municipalities, and the area school districts. The Commissioners say that the properties will probably go for less than normal value, but they will be happy to get some of the tax dollars generated by the sales.
