TOTAL LOSS FIRE - CITY DEMOLISHED
Hi All,
Short Story.
one of our buildings was part of a large fire that wiped out half a block, 6 buildings. The city came in and demolished and cleared all the properties.
1. the property is under an LLC and is now just vacant land. I have a city tax bill that will be coming up in the next couple of months.
2. I will have a city demolition bill coming my way as well. probably in the range of 25K-35K.
My question is around tax bill and demolition bill the city will be sending my way:
The land maybe is worth 5k. 10k at most.
If I do not pay my tax bill ( around $2,500) and let the city foreclose on the property. Will that impact my personal financial profile - credit score etc.
Same question on the demo bill - If i just let the city put a lien on the property and it eventually forecloses is there any financial impact to me personally.
I rather walk away from the land.
thank you.
