Regular Council Meeting <br />November 26, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />Mayor Hashmi said the City of Paris was planning its largest tax sale ever, to include <br />over 100 properties. He said these properties had delinquent taxes but would be sold, free and <br />clear, at public auction. Mayor Hashmi stated that some properties would be available for as <br />little as $200. He explained that the sale would be so big that the tax attorneys had to add a <br />second day to make sure they had enough time to complete the anticipated purchases. Mayor <br />Hashmi announced the public auction would take place at the Lamar County Courthouse on <br />Tuesday, December 4, and again on Tuesday, February 5, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. <br />He said the City would place signs on the properties to be offered for sale in the next several <br />days to help prospective buyers identify what was available.
