ALLEN COUNTY, Ind. – The Allen County Treasurer’s office says they’ve been receiving several phone calls from concerned citizens stating they are getting calls or text messages about property they own having been placed in the tax sale or possibly going to the tax sale.
The messages ominously warn the taxpayer that they could be in danger of losing their home. Officials say these calls and texts are not coming from the Treasurer’s office and are fraudulent. The Treasurer’s office does not call or send texts regarding the tax sale properties.
If you receive such a call or text, the Treasurer’s office suggests you hang up or delete the text. If there are any doubts, you can call the Treasurer’s office to confirm the status of your property taxes at 260-449-7693.

You pay a sales tax, then you are assessed an annual Tax every year on your biggest asset that you have been paying on for 30 years. This is an “unrealized capital gains tax”…something everyone was against when Democrats floated the idea on All investments (and is a terrible idea).
Then, if for any reason, you can’t pay their assessment, they kick you out and take your house.
You don’t own your house.
