The basics

  • No credit check

    County tax auctions don't look at your credit. You need a bidder account, a registration packet, and the money ready.

  • No real estate license

    Most tax-foreclosure auctions are open to the public.

  • Register early

    Each auction has its own packet and deadline — usually a couple of days before bidding closes. Late packets aren't accepted.

  • Research before you bid

    Check zoning, access, utilities and title risk using county property records before you place a bid.
