The Montour County Tax Claim Bureau, located in Danville, PA, is responsible for collecting delinquent real estate taxes from tax collectors and school districts in Montour County. Operating under the Real Estate Tax Sale Law, the Bureau conducts Upset Sales and Judicial Sales to recover unpaid taxes, with properties offered for sale at a bid equal to or greater than the outstanding taxes, bureau costs, and any municipal liens.
Property owners with delinquent taxes receive a Notice of Claim, and if the taxes remain unpaid, the property is advertised, posted, and sold. The Upset Tax Sale occurs every September for properties with two or more years of delinquent taxes, while properties not sold at the Upset Sale become eligible for Judicial Sale, where mortgages, judgments, and non-tax liens may be divested. The Bureau ensures a thorough owner title search and notifies all known lien holders before offering the property for sale.
