How government auctions work in District of Columbia

Tax lien state

The District of Columbia sells tax liens on delinquent real property at an annual tax sale run by the Office of Tax and Revenue, typically in July. Buyers receive a certificate, not the property.

Redemption period
The owner may redeem at any time until a court forecloses the right, and the buyer cannot file to foreclose until at least six months after the sale.
Interest or penalty
The certificate earns simple interest, commonly cited at 1.5% per month (18% per year), on the amount paid at the sale.

Who sells in District of Columbia

  • Office of Tax and Revenue annual real property tax sale
  • DC Department of General Services surplus vehicles and equipment
  • District disposition of surplus city-owned real estate through DMPED and DHCD
  • Federal sellers such as GSA Auctions, the U.S. Marshals and the IRS

How it works for a first-time buyer

OTR publishes the tax sale list several weeks in advance and holds the sale over several days, requiring bidders to pre-register and post a deposit. Bidding is for a premium above the taxes owed, and the premium generally earns no interest. After six months a certificate holder can file a foreclosure action in D.C. Superior Court, a process that often takes a year or more. Confirm the property's class and any exemptions before bidding, since some parcels are withdrawn or redeemed shortly after the sale.
