The Update Paid Parcels program reviews the unpaid balance for each parcel in the current tax sale year. Property owners are encouraged to pay delinquencies before the end of tax sale to avoid going to auction. The program determines if bills have been paid and updates the initial lien with a Hold/Removed flag of 'R' if so. This removes the parcel from further tax sale processing and reports.

Note: The Update Paid Parcels program should be run regularly, either nightly or weekly, to determine if bills have been paid.
