Odd Bits on the Tax Lien Sale

The debtor list for the Oct.10 tax lien sale is now posted on the city web site, albeit sideways and 23 pages long. If you are curious and not in a hurry, you can see it in the newspaper on Sept. 26.

Among the items is $24,130.73 in taxes owed by "Muhlenberg Medical c/o TSEMBER" at 1356-60 Randolph Road; $23,618.50 in taxes owed by JFK International Bedding on Madison Avenue; $33.223.10 in taxes owed by New Jersey Hardwoods Prop LLC on West Front Street; $52,447.76 in sewer fees owed by Certified Green Property 1 LLC at 214-24 Park Avenue; $20,335.43 owed by Yates Real Estate Inc. for taxes and sewer at 808-14 West Eighth St.

Giant Realty LLC owes $58,944.88 for taxes at 115-33 Waynewood Park and another $8,529.91 for taxes at 611-19 West Front St. This site was once slated for development, but it fizzled out in 2007.

Owners of a property at 430-32 West Second Street are on the list for taxes and other costs totaling $54,944.88. This is where a fire broke out in February 2012 and the building was bulldozed. The Hannah family is disputing a past lien and claimed in 20102 to have paid back taxes. See clip here
Plaintalker previously wrote about another property in the clip, where a fire happened in December 2011.

In the tax lien sale, investors may purchase the liens, pay the money owed to the city and then receive up to 18 percent interest on the lien. Prospective bidders must register by Oct. 3 and must pay the city in cash, money order or certified check prior to the conclusion of the sale.

Any city taxes collected through the sale help the municipality's bottom line, while sewer lien sale receipts go to the Plainfield Municipal Utilities Authority. Tax Collector David Marshall will conduct the sale.

  2. Some of our elected officials are on this list. Shameful. In my religion we call it thievery and lying. They enter into an agreement and then fail to live up to it, and they take taxpayers money in salary and make taxpayers pay again by making up the money they owe by paying higher taxes. It's no wonder our city is so beneath other successful ones. Our own leaders don't care.
