Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
What is a tax deed auction?
A tax deed auction is a public sale where a county sells property to recover unpaid property taxes. The winning bidder receives a tax deed conveying ownership. Minimum bids cover the delinquent tax amount plus fees — often far below market value.
What is a tax lien certificate?
When a property owner fails to pay taxes, the county may sell a tax lien certificate to investors. You pay the overdue taxes and earn interest (rates vary by state — up to 36% in some states) when the owner redeems. If they don't redeem within the statutory period, you may foreclose to obtain the deed.
Is there a redemption period after a tax sale?
It varies by state. Tax deed states often have no redemption period after the auction. Tax lien states typically allow 1–3 years for owners to redeem. Some states like Georgia and Texas use redeemable deeds — the owner can repurchase within a set period (usually 1 year) at a premium. Always check state-specific rules.
Can I inspect a property before bidding?
Vacant properties can generally be viewed externally. Interior access requires the occupant's permission. Title searches are strongly recommended — some junior liens may survive the tax sale depending on state law. Factor unknown interior condition and due diligence costs into your maximum bid.
