The Division of Real Property Tax informs the public that the next round of auctions for properties in delinquent payment status of 10 or more years has been scheduled. On St. Croix, the auctions will take place at 9 a.m. from Nov. 14-16 at the Virgin Islands Cardiac Center located at the Juan F. Luis Hospital. In the St. Thomas-St. John district, the auctions will be held at 9 a.m. on Nov. 20 and 21 in the courtyard of the GERS Building on Kronprindsens Gade, according to a press release issued Friday by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor.
In the event the auctions do not conclude on the first day, it will continue on the second or third days.
