State guide

How government auctions work in Washington

Tax deed state

Washington county treasurers foreclose on property delinquent for three years and sell it at a tax foreclosure auction, conveying a treasurer's deed. There are no tax lien certificates.

Redemption period
The owner may redeem until the sale; after the treasurer's deed issues there is no redemption, except for narrow exceptions such as minors or incapacitated owners.
Interest or penalty
Not applicable — buyers receive the treasurer's deed at auction rather than a lien.

Who sells in Washington

  • County treasurer tax foreclosure auctions
  • Washington DNR state-trust timber auctions
  • Washington Department of Commerce state surplus property inventory
  • City of Seattle fleet surplus and Washington DES state surplus
  • Federal sellers such as GSA Auctions

How it works for a first-time buyer

Treasurers publish the foreclosure list in the fall and most counties now sell online through an auction vendor, requiring registration and a deposit; minimum bids equal the taxes, interest and costs. Payment is due within a day or two, and the treasurer issues a deed after full payment. Surplus county property, distinct from foreclosures, is sold at separate auctions. Verify critical-area and shoreline restrictions, and check whether the parcel is a landlocked remnant, which is common on foreclosure lists.

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

Washington auction FAQ

Is Washington a tax lien or tax deed state?

Washington is a tax deed state. County treasurers foreclose and auction the property itself; investors cannot buy tax liens.

How long is the redemption period in Washington?

None after the sale. Owners must pay before the auction, and the treasurer's deed is not subject to redemption.

How do Washington DNR timber auctions work?

DNR posts upcoming timber sales with an auction date, volume and appraised minimum, and holds oral auctions at region offices; bidders must be pre-qualified and post a deposit.
