As recently as last week some 400 properties throughout Montgomery County were listed as potentially available at a scheduled public auction Thursday because of delinquent real estate taxes.
But as one official in the county Treasurer's Office predicted, many of the properties' owners came forward and paid up.
The list of properties with taxes more than 24 months overdue was down to 111, as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, Deputy Treasurer Bridget Lafferty said.
She said properties were removed from the list if their taxes were paid in full, an agreement with the county was reached or the owner declared bankruptcy. In the case of numerous other properties, their auctioning off was postponed until Dec. 8.
The auction Wednesday will be in Courtroom A of the county courthouse, 2 E. Airy St., Norristown.
