Blocked Payments During Upset Sale

During the month of September, parcels that are enrolled in the Upset Sale are not eligible for online payment.

Delinquent tax parcels are left off the daily upload file if the following conditions are met:

The current date is between September 1 and September 30, inclusive

The parcel is subject to Judicial Sale OR Upset Sale

Parcel is considered in Judicial Sale if:

Property Status is "Judicial 1" or "Judicial 2"

Parcel is considered in Upset Sale if all of the following are true:

Property Status is "PreUpset"

Parcel was added to the permanent Upset table for this sale year

Parcel still owes taxes from at least two years ago

Parcel has NOT been flagged

To further clarify, the following types of parcels MAY CONTINUE TO MAKE credit card payments in September:

Parcels on a payment plan

Pre-upset parcels that owe only a single year of back-taxes

Flagged parcels

Repository and non-repository parcels
