Hall County Tax Commissioner Darla Eden works with Quincy Buffington on Tuesday morning after Buffington's winning bid on a property during the monthly foreclosure and tax sale at Kenyon Plaza in downtown Gainesville. The monthly event will move to the Hall County Government Center next month.
Quincy Buffington, 39, is no stranger to tax sales. So when the property he had his eye on came up for auction Tuesday morning, he was ready to outbid his closest competitor. But this marked the last day that sales for the collection of unpaid property taxes would take place at Kenyon Plaza outside the downtown courthouse.
