What Is a Tax Deed Sale?
A tax deed sale occurs when a property is sold at public auction to satisfy unpaid property taxes. Understanding this process is the first step toward protecting your rights and exploring your options.
Tax Delinquency
When property taxes go unpaid, the county issues a tax certificate against the property, beginning the clock toward potential sale.
Certificate Sale
Investors purchase tax certificates at auction. If the property owner fails to redeem the certificate, the process advances.
Tax Deed Auction
After the redemption period expires, the certificate holder can apply for a tax deed sale, where the property is auctioned publicly.
Surplus Funds
If the property sells for more than the owed taxes and fees, surplus funds may be available to the former owner or their heirs.
