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.
