Which event begins the accelerated tax sale?

• A. Begin Accelerated Tax Sale
• B. Mailing of Reconciled Bills
• C. Annual Treasurers School Monies Report Due
• D. Cancellation of Uncollectible Taxes

Answer: (A)

The event that starts an accelerated tax sale is the official initiation of the sale by the tax authority. When the treasurer issues the order to begin the accelerated tax sale, the process is set in motion—advertising, setting the sale date, and notifying bidders all begin. Until that formal start happens, no sale actions take place. The other steps listed are administrative tasks that occur at different points in the cycle and do not trigger the sale itself.
