Christian County is holding a ‘sealed bid’ auction that includes over 100 real estate properties and 12 mobile homes. These are being offered following the completion of tax deed processes for unpaid property taxes from 2021, and for mobile homes from 2022. Properties that have gone delinquent and are available for bidding, can now be found online as well at www.iltaxsalebids.com. The deadline for this runs through August 15th, 2025.
Paper bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes to the Treasurer’s Office at the Christian County Courthouse, located at 101 South Main Street in Taylorville. The deadline for submission is the end of the business day on August 9th, 2025.
The county hopes to see these properties and mobile homes brought under responsible ownership, with regular tax payments and proper upkeep. Removing neglected and vacant properties is expected to enhance the look of local neighborhoods and help raise surrounding property values.
Minimum bids are set at 837 dollars for real estate and 915 dollars for mobile homes. Each item will be awarded to the highest qualifying bid received by the August 9 deadline. Bidder packets and auction catalogs can be picked up at the Treasurer’s Office or accessed online at www.iltaxsale.com.
