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 delinquent taxes plus fees, often below market value.
What is a tax lien certificate?
When a property owner does not pay taxes, the county may sell a tax lien certificate to investors. You pay the overdue taxes and earn interest when the owner redeems. If the owner does not redeem within the statutory period, you may be able to foreclose and obtain the deed.
Is there a redemption period after a tax sale?
It depends on the state. Tax deed states often have no redemption period after the auction, while tax lien states typically allow one to three years for redemption. Some states, including Georgia and Texas, use redeemable deeds that let the owner repurchase within a set period, usually one year, at a premium.
Can I inspect a property before bidding?
Vacant properties can usually be viewed from the exterior. Interior access requires occupant permission. A title search is strongly recommended because some junior liens may survive the sale, depending on state law. Include due diligence and condition risk in your maximum bid.
