Grant County treasurer reports 91.87% overall tax collection rate; current-year collections at 64.64%

Treasurer Khan presented the tax schedule maintenance report and answered commissionersquestions about delinquent parcels and the tax-auction process. "So far the treasurer's office has collected $122,150,000, leaving about $10,800,000 still outstanding, which puts an overall collection rate of 91.87," he said.

Khan noted the 2025 net taxes charged are about $17,960,000 and that the treasurer's office has collected $11,600,000 to date (current-year collection rate 64.64%), which he described as normal for the stage of the collection cycle. He also explained how the Silver Consolidated School Districts 2024 bond affected 2025 tax bills and reaffirmed that the treasurer's office works with the assessor and property-tax division to prepare delinquent parcels for possible auction.

Chairman Ponce and other commissioners raised concerns about parcels that appear vacant and unpaid for long periods; Khan said his office maintains a list of parcels delinquent more than 36 months and can coordinate site visits and tax-auction placement with the state property-tax division.

Why it matters: Collection rates determine near-term revenue available to the county and the treasurer's process for moving long-delinquent parcels to auction can affect county revenue and local land use.
