CARLYLE — Clinton County, as trustee, has completed their tax deed proceedings on real estate properties that were delinquent for 2021 and prior real estate cases. The county, as trustee, will now offer for sale the real estate obtained to the public. They will offer approximately 20 items through a sealed bid auction sale.
All sealed bids must be in the Clinton County Treasurer’s Office, located in the Clinton County Courthouse, 850 Fairfax St., P.O. Box 174, Carlyle, Illinois, 62231 no later than the close of business on Oct. 3, 2025.
The sale of these lots should be a major benefit to both the taxing districts and the neighboring property owners. This sale will place the properties into the hands of individuals who have an interest in owning them. The county, as trustee, hopes that these new owners will both maintain the property and keep the real estate taxes paid. By eliminating abandoned properties, the appearance of the neighborhood should improve and the value of adjoining properties should increase.
The required minimum bid is just $820 per item. All items will be sold to the highest sealed bid received on or before Oct. 3. Complete bidder’s packets and sale catalogs are now available at the Clinton County Treasurer’s Office or online at www.iltaxsale.com.
