Listing description

What the seller provided

Delinquent-property-tax lien on parcel 13541023K, unsold at Maricopa County's annual tax-lien auction and now available for over-the-counter purchase (assignment) from the County Treasurer. You buy the tax debt plus statutory interest — not the property — and the owner keeps the right to redeem. See the Treasurer's parcel page for the current payoff amount.

How this sale works

Tax lien sale

You are buying the county's tax claim, not the property. The owner repays the taxes plus interest to you, and only if they never do can you move to foreclose.

  • Returns come from the statutory interest or penalty rate, often bid down or bid up at the auction.
  • Most liens are redeemed; taking title is the exception and follows a separate legal process.
  • Certificates have expiry dates and notice requirements that vary by state.
In Arizona: Arizona counties sell tax lien certificates each February, and the county treasurer offers the leftover liens over the counter for the rest of the year. Investors buy the delinquent tax debt, not the property. The owner has three years from the sale to redeem before the certificate holder may begin a judicial foreclosure; foreclosure is not automatic and requires a court action.
