Cass County Collector of Revenue Chris Molendorp will return to an earlier time for the annual delinquent tax sale to be held Monday, August 24th. The Collector announced the sale will not be held indoors but will be conducted from the lawn and north steps of the courthouse.

“Out of an abundance of caution, I’ve decided to move the sale-rain or shine-to the north steps of the courthouse. Sometimes the old-fashioned ways of doing things still work. Fresh air and the ability to spread out will make for a great sale”, Molendorp said.

Moving the sale outside will not change any of the laws that govern the annual tax sale. “Potential bidders are still required to register by Friday, August 21 and any property that remains delinquent will still be offered. We are simply going outside instead of using the second-floor courtroom. This is how it was done for decades in this state and we’re going to do it again,” Molendorp added.

In addition, the City of Harrisonville has granted Molendorp’s request to close Pearl Street that morning to accommodate witnesses, staff, and bidders.
