Brown County Courthouse

(KNZA)--Brown County is taking steps to hold the county's next tax foreclosure sale.

The Brown County Commission at their December 31st meeting unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the filing of a tax foreclosure petition in Brown County District Court.

The Commission also unanimously approved signing the petition.

County Attorney Kevin Hill, joining the meeting via Zoom, said the title work has been completed and requested approval to file the petition.

Brown County periodically holds tax foreclosure sales to collect unpaid real estate taxes. The property that is eligible for the sale is any real estate that has delinquent taxes for three years.

A date has not been set yet for the tax sale.

In other business, the commission approved an updated wage structure for the Sheriff's Department for 2025 as presented by Sheriff John Merchant and Undersheriff Robbie Parker. It includes a 50 cent cost of living increase approved by the commission and an additional $1.00 per hour for retention raises.
