 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.    

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.   Prior to the sale, you must obtain the item number for each address in which you are interested. 

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).
