Additional Information
As a potential bidder on tax defaulted property it is strongly recommended that at a minimum the following steps be taken prior to submitting a bid.
  • Physically inspect all properties you have an interest in bidding on. Property may not have a structure on it (not withstanding the recorded description), or its size, shape, or other characteristics may render it useless.
  • The successful sale of a tax defaulted property will result in the issuance of a tax deed which will not discharge all other encumbrances recorded on a property. These encumbrances include but are in no way limited to, special assessments, income tax liens, mechanics liens, street bonds, and other taxing agency obligations. A Title search conducted at the prospective bidders expense should reveal any outstanding liens or encumbrances on the property
