State guide

How government auctions work in Kentucky

Tax lien state

Kentucky county clerks sell certificates of delinquency to third-party purchasers each year, giving the buyer a lien with statutory interest. Foreclosures and tax-related judicial sales are handled by the Master Commissioner.

Redemption period: There is no fixed redemption period; the owner can pay the certificate holder until a foreclosure judgment, and the purchaser must wait one year before filing suit.
Interest or penalty: Certificates of delinquency earn interest commonly cited at 12% per year, plus allowable fees.

Who sells in Kentucky

County clerk certificate of delinquency sales
Master Commissioner judicial sales (for example Jefferson County/Louisville)
Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet surplus property auctions
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet surplus right-of-way
Federal sellers such as GSA Auctions

How it works for a first-time buyer

The county clerk publishes the certificate list and sale date, and third-party purchasers must pre-register with the Department of Revenue and pay a fee before buying. Master Commissioner sales are separate: court-ordered sales of mortgage, code-enforcement and tax foreclosures, held at the courthouse with a 10% deposit and the balance due within about 30 days. Read the handbill for the appraised value, because bids below two-thirds of appraisal trigger a statutory redemption right. Verify occupancy and any surviving liens before bidding.

General information, not legal advice — the official sale notice controls. Last reviewed September 2026.

Kentucky auction FAQ

Is Kentucky a tax lien or tax deed state?

Kentucky is a tax lien state. County clerks sell certificates of delinquency, and the buyer must foreclose through the courts to get the property.

How long is the redemption period in Kentucky?

For certificates, the owner may pay until a foreclosure judgment, and the purchaser must wait one year to sue. At Master Commissioner sales, a six-month redemption commonly applies only when the price is under two-thirds of appraisal.

Where are Kentucky state surplus vehicles sold?

The Finance and Administration Cabinet's surplus property program runs online auctions and sealed-bid sales for state vehicles and equipment.
