Taxes Paid on Heritage House; City to Take Owners to Court
Press release from the issuing company
Thursday, August 5th, 2010
The owners of the crumbling Heritage House property on West Oglethorpe Boulevard avoided having the property auctioned off Tuesday and paid the $14,000 in taxes owed on the former hotel.
The move prevents the city or other possible developers from acquiring the property on the cheap, but city officials say they now will follow through with the abatement action on the property and try to get a court order to demolish the property.
"We intend to continue with the abatement process," Code Enforcement Director Mike Tilson told Albany City Commissioners Tuesday.
