What is the tax sale?
The Tax Collector auctions for sale all current unpaid taxes at a tax sale which is traditionally held in Madison County on the last Monday in August. After the taxes have been sold at auction, the owner of the property has two years from the date of sale to redeem the delinquent taxes, plus interest (1 1/2% per month) accrued up to that date, plus any fees charged by the Chancery Clerk.
