This office does not process any type of Bank Foreclosure sales.


Important Information! Please Read Before Continuing!

  • Sales results by month are posted on the Delinquent Tax Sales link at the bottom of this page. Cause numbers are noted as "withdrawn," "struck off" or "sold." This information will remain available for 45 days following each monthly sale. After 45 days, the link will no longer be available.
  • Specifics such as the amount of the sale, or the purchaser's name, are obtainable at the downtown courthouse after the deeds have been filed.
  • Payments are only accepted in these forms: cash, cashier checks and money orders. It is strongly recommended that purchasers bring cashiers checks of varied denominations and some cash because we will accept exact funds only. All money orders or checks should be made out to Constable Darrell Huffman.
  • Purchasers have up to one hour after the sale to bring in certified funds or cash in the exact amount. There are local banks available nearby, should one be needed.
  • Bidder's authorization sheets should be obtained prior to, and be shown when, registering for the sale.  Deeds cannot be issued without this authorization. 

 



Please be aware that every effort is made to ensure that the deeds and deed cover sheets correctly reflect the information you put on the Bidder Registration form.  If the Bidder Registration form is not completed and printed clearly, it could result in incorrect information being entered on your documents, which could delay your receipt of these items.  We are asking you to please print the information clearly so that errors can be avoided.  Additional fees may be incurred if your documents have to be reproduced.
