Lottie Heyl has lived in her home since 2010. She says she struck a deal with a village man and his dad to sell her the land and build her a new home. But she says they left her a shell, forcing her to dip into her own pocket to finish it. She was staying in a summer rental during construction. Once she did move in, the owner never turned over the deed to the house. That has created a messy situation with taxes. Because her name isn’t on the property, Heyl has never paid taxes, though she has wanted to and is willing to. County records show that taxes were paid until March of 2018, then stopped. Because of that, county officials say there are now $45,000 in unpaid taxes. Now, the property is up for a tax auction, which would eventually give the highest bidder ownership of the land. Heyl put in a bid for $45,000 but has already been outbid. Jefferson County is in control of the property now. The director of the county’s tax services tells 7 News that Heyl could pay the taxes, but she still wouldn’t own the property. --174.65.x.xxx
