D.C. property owners whose 2008 delinquent real estate tax bills total less than $1,200 will not have their holdings auctioned during the District’s annual tax sale, the tax office announced last week.

During the tax sale, scheduled for Wednesday through Friday, the Office of Tax and Revenue auctions the liens on D.C. properties with back tax bills. As of Friday there were about 4,900 such properties.
