Time and Place:

The next Private Tax Lien Sale will be held Monday, May 2, 2011.  All purchase requests must be received by the Treasurer’s Office, 1819 Farnam Room H-02, on or before this date to be considered for assignment.

 Sale Process:

The Private Tax Lien Sale is a random draw conducted privately in the Treasurer’s Office (investors are not present).  Investors provide a list of liens they agree to buy for the delinquent tax amount including interest and advertising fees.  Investors must indicate the minimum ownership percentage they are willing to take in exchange for the lien.  

It is the investor's responsibility to research properties.  Due to our limited staff and heavy work volume, we do not have the resources to help you do research.  

It is possible that some advertised tax liens may not be offered in the sale (due to recent payments and/or other circumstances such as pending litigation).
