| The Carbon County Tax Claim Bureau
was created as a result of the enactment of the Pennsylvania Real
Estate Tax Sale Law (Act 542 of 1947). The purpose of Act 542 is
to promptly return properties with delinquent Real Estate Taxes
to the productive tax rolls.
The Local Taxing Authorities (Municipal, County and
School Districts) have benefited by the accelerated collection
of Delinquent Real Estate Taxes without undue hardship on the property
owner.
The provisions of certain divestitures of liens and
encumbrances appear to attract purchasers to tax sales, thus transferring
non-taxpaying properties into the hands of responsible taxpayers.
The general activities that take place in the Tax Claim Bureau are
collections, tax sales and distribution of paid taxes.
