SRI Inc. conducted the tax sale in the lobby of the courthouse.
The property owner must be at least three installments delinquent for their property to be listed in a tax sale.
Tuesday’s Auction sold a total of 55 properties, with a total of $817,510.85 bid on those properties.
“Everything went well during the sale,” said Lawrence County Treasurer Paula Stewart. “SRI Inc. is great to work with.”
Those bidding on the properties are expected to pay cash the day of the sale or present certified funds.
