How this sale works

Tax sale (deed)

The county sells the property itself to recover unpaid taxes. The minimum bid is usually the delinquent taxes, interest and costs.

  • Bidding often starts at the amount owed, well below market value, but other liens may survive the sale.
  • Some states give the former owner a redemption window after the sale; the deed is not final until it lapses.
  • Access is limited before the sale; buyers rely on public records, drive-bys and the assessor's data.
  • Winning bidders usually pay in full within hours or days; many counties require pre-registration and a deposit.
In Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania county tax claim bureaus sell delinquent property at an upset sale, then a judicial sale free of liens, and finally from a repository list; Philadelphia and Pittsburgh run their own sheriff and treasurer sales. There is generally no redemption after a tax claim bureau sale, but Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and some other cities allow redemption within nine months for owner-occupied property sold at sheriff or treasurer's sale.
