Article published on Thursday, April 6, 2006 |
LARGO – Realauction has announced that two training dates for the online auction of tax certificates in Pinellas County are scheduled for Thursday, May 18, 9 a.m., and the following Thursday, May 25, 1 p.m.
Both sessions will run about two hours at the tax collector’s Mid County Service Center, 13025 Starkey Road. There is no charge for the training, and there is ample free parking.
“Personal training helps our bidders become more familiar with the online auction process and the software interface. We hope to encourage new bidders and serve past bidders with this benefit,” said Diane Nelson, Pinellas County Tax Collector. “Realauction also provides a demonstration Web site for those who cannot attend the sessions.”
This year, Realauction will serve the online sales of tax certificates in the Florida counties of Columbia, Hernando, Hillsborough, Lee, Levy, Monroe, Pinellas, Polk, Putnam, Suwannee and in Yavapai County in Arizona.
Bidders may register and submit bids beginning Friday, May 12. On Thursday, June 1, bidding will end on groups of certificates every hour. At that time, the bids are officially submitted, evaluated and winners chosen. To register, visit www.pinellastaxsale.com.
