INTRODUCTION
The term "tax title lands" shall
mean any tract of land acquired by the county for lack of
other bidders at a tax foreclosure sale.
The Grays Harbor County Dept. of Forestry and Tax Title
Management maintains files pertaining to tax title parcels,
however the County Treasurer
is the only person authorized by law to sell any County
owned parcels. The Grays Harbor County Treasurer's office
conducts an annual surplus property sale, at which time
a number of parcels are auctioned off. This sale is separate
from and should not be confused with the annual foreclosure
sale held in December.
We encourage any interested persons to apply for re-sale
of these parcels in the hopes they will be returned to the
tax rolls. The parcels have been inventoried and a separate
file created for each parcel. These files hold information
pertinent to the parcels including such things as: parcel
maps, listing of adjacent owners, deeds if available, liens
against property if available, foreclosure information,
and in some case abatement costs. It is the intent of this
office to maintain the files so that all available information,
which relates to each parcel, is readily accessible to interested
parties as well as to the Treasurer's office to assist in
sale preparation. If you have further questions regarding
the parcels, feel free to call the Forestry Office at (360)
249-5071. However, if your questions pertain to an actual
auction or sale, please call the Treasurer's Office at (360)
249-3751.
