The Reno County Tax Sale will be held at 9 am on Thursday, October 29th, 2026.

Understanding the Reno County Tax Sale Process:
The Reno County Sheriff's Office would like to provide some clarification about the Tax Sale process and what happens to the money collected at the auction.
Property owners in Reno County are responsible for paying taxes on their property. When those taxes go unpaid for 5 years, the County may file a foreclosure lawsuit for the unpaid property.
Property owners are personally served with court documents whenever possible and are given time to pay the taxes owed before their property is sold. Many property owners pay the outstanding taxes during this process, preventing their property from going to auction.
If the taxes remain unpaid and the court approves the property for sale, the Sheriff's Office conducts a public auction.
Before the auction, a Reno County Sheriff's deputy has visited each property and either spoken with the resident or property owner or posted the appropriate court paperwork.

What happens to the money collected at the auction:
There is sometimes a misunderstanding about what happens when a property sells for more than the amount owed.
The County cannot simply keep the extra money. Sale proceeds are used to cover the taxes owed, applicable interest, penalties and court-approved costs associated with the foreclosure and sale.
If a property sells for more than those amounts, the excess money, sometimes called an "overage," may be claimed by the former property owner or another party legally entitled to it, as determined by the court.
Letters are sent to eligible individuals notifying them that additional money is available and explaining how to claim it through the court.
If the money remains unclaimed, it is eventually transferred to the State of Kansas as unclaimed property.

Multi-Vehicle Injury Motor Vehicle Accident

On October 5, 2026, at approximately 7:37 a.m., deputies with the Reno County Sheriff’s Office, alongside Reno County EMS, Haven EMS, Reno County Fire, Kansas Highway Patrol, and Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, were dispatched to the intersection of Boundary Road and Victory Road in southeastern Reno County following reports of a multi-vehicle injury accident. While emergency personnel were en route, dispatch updated responders that a pedestrian had likely been struck.

Upon arrival, deputies determined that two separate collisions had occurred in rapid succession at the same location. In the initial incident, a juvenile driver operating an eastbound 2013 Ford Edge crossed the center line to make a gradual left turn on Boundary Road and struck a westbound 2017 Toyota RAV4 driven by Ayat Tbaba of Mount Hope.

Following the initial crash, a 2010 Chrysler Town & Country driven by Nicholas Meyer of Mount Hope and a 2018 Ford Edge driven by Geralynn Hilger, also of Mount Hope, brought their vehicles to a complete stop in the eastbound lane. A 2010 Mercury Milan, driven by a juvenile, then struck the rear of the stopped 2018 Ford Edge. The impact forced the Ford Edge into the Chrysler Town & Country and struck a pedestrian, identified as Nicholas Hilger of Mount Hope, who had stopped nearby after witnessing the crash and exited his vehicle to render medical aid.

Nicholas Hilger was transported by emergency medical services to an area hospital in critical condition. Geralynn Hilger and the juvenile driver of the 2013 Ford Edge were also transported to an area hospital in stable condition, while all other involved parties were evaluated by EMS and released at the scene. Vehicles were removed by JSeven Towing and Hutch Towing and Recovery.

The incident remains under investigation by the Reno County Sheriff’s Office.
