Dee,
I didn't say that it was technically incorrect, I said it was misleading and I still think it was. There is a big difference between the sale of the taxes and the sale of the property itself. I don't feel it is appropriate to gloss over the difference. Several people I have spoken with were under the impression that their parking space was about to be sold out from under them imminently. I felt that the notice on the bulletin board would lead people to think that was the case. (If I didn't know anything about the situation, that is what I would have gotten from the message.) My email to the discussion list (which I sent at the request of an owner) was simply meant to calm fears that owners' spaces were going to be sold in the very near future. It was not meant to slight the author of the bulletin board notice, but to prevent people from being overly concerned.

I want to address a potential misunderstanding of the recent discussion on the potential tax sale of a number of parking spaces. Last night on the bulletin board a notice was posted that contained misleading information. A tax sale is just that, a sale of the right to the taxes. It is not a sale of the parking space to cover delinquent taxes. It is a much less serious matter. Ignoring it, however, will make it a more serious matter. A notice has been mailed today to all affected parking space owners explaining how they may clear up the issue.
John I would like to respond to your statement above. The notice posted on the bulletin board did not have misleading information. Furthermore it was just a note to let owners know they should check on the status of the second bill. It had very general information which simply stated, your parking spot could be sold for taxes.... be it sale of the right to the taxes or however you might want to word it. Bottom line, if you don't check on the status of your parking spot and you let two years past by, your spot will be SOLD! I personally know someone who just received a deliquent notice for taxes for a property that was being managed by someone, who supposedly was paying the taxes and did not, they never received the bill and now have until May 2, 3003 to come up with $63,000.00.............
The note was only posted to make owners aware that they needed to check inasmuch as we received our delinquent bills in the manner that we did ........................with no explanation or anything!!!!
