2. Purchasers must follow the rules and statutes set forth by the State of Kentucky when buying a delinquent tax bill, here are those rules and statutes.
    
3. Those that meet the requirements listed above and ARE NOT registering for the Taylor County Clerk's delinquent tax sale will need to register with the Campbellsville Independent Tax Collector and pay the registration fee of $250.  You may register by calling Melissa Dooley at (270) 465-3867 or email your information to melissa.dooley@cville.kyschools.us.  If you are registered with the Taylor County Clerk for the county sale, then there is no need to register with the Campbellsville Independent Tax Collector.
    
4. The Campbellsville Independent Delinquent Tax Sale will take place immediately following the Taylor County Delinquent Tax sale at the Taylor County Courthouse on the second floor in the old courtroom.
    
5. PRIORITY PURCHASES:  If you are a Registered Third Party Purchaser and purchased tax bills at our sale last year, you will have first option to "priority" purchase the same parcel this year (if it is delinquent) by sending an email with the parcel / map # and location of the delinquent bill prior to the tax sale to Melissa Dooley, Tax Collector for CISD so the bill can be pulled prior to the sale.  The Third-Party Purchaser who bought the most recent bill will have first option on "priority" purchases.
    
6. After the close of the sale, the years prior to 2025 may be purchased by anyone wishing to do so.  You would need to come into the office of the Campbellsville Independent Tax Collector located in the Taylor County Courthouse on the first floor to make those purchases.
    
7. Once the sale is complete, the remaining tax bills (any and all years) that did not get purchased may be bought by anyone regardless of their registration's status with the State of Kentucky, but they must abide by the rules and statutes as stated above.
