Tax Lien Sales

Tax lien sales are conducted annually, or monthly, in most counties or municipalities to offer properties to investors that have delinquent property taxes.  When a property owner does not pay their property taxes, the county places a high priority on getting their money.  To do that, the county conducts a tax sale where either a tax lien certificate or an actual tax deed is sold at public auction.  The purpose of the tax sale is to offer the debt or actual property to investors so the county can start receiving tax revenue from the property again.

Depending on the state, two types of tax sales are usually conducted, tax lien certificate sales or tax deed sales.  Some states conduct both.  Here is a list of states that conduct tax lien certificate sales and tax deed sales.  As noted in the table, Canada also conducts tax sales.
