Logan County sets November 19 tax lien sale in Sterling
Delinquent tax bills could turn into liens Nov. 19 in Sterling, where registration opens at 8 a.m. and bidding starts at 10 a.m. at the courthouse.
Logan County will hold its 2026 tax lien sale Nov. 19 in the Commissioners Meeting Room at the courthouse, 315 Main Street, 2nd Floor, in Sterling, giving property owners, neighbors and potential bidders a clear date to watch. Registration will open at 8:00 a.m. in the Treasurer’s Office at the courthouse, and the sale will begin at 10:00 a.m. in the commissioners’ room.
For homeowners behind on property taxes, the sale is the point where unpaid taxes move into the county’s lien system. The county treasurer’s office says its main functions are to collect taxes, disburse them to the appropriate taxing districts and maintain and invest county financial resources, which is why delinquent accounts matter well beyond one parcel. Those dollars support the public operations that rely on property tax revenue, including roads, schools and other essential services.
The county’s Treasurer’s Deed Process brochure says simple interest accrues on a tax lien at 9 percent above the Federal Discount rate as of Sept. 1 each year, rounded to the nearest full percent. That rate sets the financial framework for investors who buy into the lien sale and for owners trying to understand how quickly a tax debt can grow if it remains unpaid.
Logan County’s website also points residents to online tax-payment information through a tax-payment link on its FAQ page, underscoring that the lien sale sits inside a broader collection system rather than operating as a separate event. Patricia “Patty” Bartlett is listed as Logan County treasurer, and Pamela M. Bacon is listed as county clerk and recorder. Bacon was elected to her first term in 2007.
The setting itself puts the process in the middle of county government. Commissioners meet in the same courthouse complex on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Tuesdays of each month at 9:30 a.m., and the sale room sits alongside the offices that handle property records, tax administration and public oversight. In practical terms, the Nov. 19 sale is where delinquent taxes, local government finance and future property ownership intersect in one public proceeding.
