01
High-level overview
Tax sales exist because property taxes fund local services. When taxes remain unpaid for a statutory period, counties can sell the property interest to recover the delinquent amounts.
The sale type varies by state. Some counties sell a deed, others sell a lien or a foreclosure interest. Always confirm what ownership interest you receive before bidding.
02
Typical timeline
- Taxes become delinquent and accrue penalties and interest.
- Statutory notices are sent and published.
- The county schedules an auction or public sale.
- Winning bidders pay the minimum bid and applicable fees.
- Post sale steps vary by jurisdiction, including redemption rules and title clearance.
03
Auction format
Most counties publish an auction catalog with parcel identifiers, minimum bids, and legal notices. Bidding can be online or in person depending on the county rules.
Minimum bids usually cover taxes, penalties, and fees. Properties are typically sold as-is and where-is.
04
Before you bid
- Confirm parcel identifiers and minimum bids on the official auction site.
- Review assessor records for value and property characteristics.
- Check maps, zoning, and access constraints.
- Plan for title review, occupancy checks, and post-sale legal work.
05
After the purchase
Post sale requirements vary. Some counties issue a deed immediately, while others require additional steps before you can insure title or resell the property.
Budget for legal review, recording fees, and any required notices or court actions. Always verify the county specific process before bidding.
