The Marshall County Commissioners approved an agreement this week to hold a tax certificate sale. A resolution was also adopted in order to move the process forward.

The county will be working with Joe Edwards from SRI, Inc. Approximately properties would be included in the sale. Thirty-six properties will be featured in the sale. Some will not be included as the City of Plymouth and North Township has expressed interest in a few parcels for development.

The properties that will be listed in the tax certificate sale have been in several of the county’s tax sales for many years. A tax certificate sale would offer these properties at a lower cost just to get them back on the tax rolls. The redemption period is also quicker with an average time of 120 days.

The sale could be held in April, but a sale date has not been confirmed.
