Twenty-one parcels from Topaz Ranch Estates to Lake Tahoe were put on the tax sale list after county commissioners approved a resolution on Thursday.

Clerk-Treasurer Amy Burgans said the taxes owed totals more than $145,000.

The property would be sold in an online auction at http://www.bid4assets.com over May 26-28.



“Having held the in-person auction, I sure like the online auction,” Burgans told commissioners. “It’s more beneficial to the county as a whole, as we will capture more of an audience.”

Owners have until 5 p.m. May 22 to pay the tax bill and have the properties removed from the list, Burgans said.



Properties that remain on the list may also be acquired by a local government, which is how Gardnerville ended up with Gardnerville Station back in 2013. Any money left over after taxes are paid from the proceeds goes to the owner if they claim it within a year.

Among the properties included on the list is the Quality Inn Motel along with 1.72 acres located at 1795 Ironwood Drive in Minden. The owner owes $18,040.56 in back taxes.
