The tax collector's report is due the first Monday in February. Upon receipt of the report, the governing body shall order the tax collector to advertise the tax liens by publishing each lien at least once in a newspaper having general circulation within the county. ® The tax collector will advertise the unpaid tax liens on real property in the Sanford Herald upon approval of this order. The advertisement cost is assessed to each parcel and is added to the unpaid tax bill. To determine the advertising fee assessed to each parcel, the tax collector will take the total advertising cost to the County, divide it by the number of parcels advertised and round up to the nearest fifty cents ($0.50). Bankruptcy law prevents the advertising of the taxes filed under a bankruptcy claim; therefore, no 2008 tax liens under bankruptcy will be advertised. As of January 23, 2008 the total number of liens against real property is 4,248 amounting to a total of $3,043,310.34. Lee County Tax Administrator requests Lee County Board of Commissioners to approve the advertisement of unpaid tax liens on real property for the week of March 10, 2009 at a cost per parcel as determined by the above referenced formula. Respectfully Submitted. s OFFICE OF THE TAX ADMINISTRATOR P O Box 1968 • 106 Hillcrest Drive • Sanford NC 2733 1-1 968 Tel 919-718-4661 9 Fax 919-718-4633
