Washington Tax Lien & Tax Deed Auctions

Every Washington county we track, with its next sale date, platform, and rules, each field sourced directly from the county or state's official page and re-verified on a rolling basis.

Washington law (RCW 84.64): The county Treasurer forecloses on property 3+ years delinquent and sells it at an annual deed auction (minimum bid = taxes owed). General owners have no redemption after the sale; a narrow exception gives minors/legally-incompetent persons up to 3 years.

Watch: researching a Washington auction property

A narrated walkthrough: find scheduled tax deed sales, check value, risk flags and a rehab and flip analysis, then shortlist properties to bid on.

Read the transcript

Buying the property itself? In Property Research, choose Tax Deed.

Pick your state and county. Here it's Harris County, Texas, where sales are already scheduled.

Set a price range you're comfortable with, and tick Mapped only.

Open a property.

Start with the Research Score, then the estimated value range, and how confident that estimate is.

Then the risk flags. In a deed sale, liens that survive the sale and a structure we couldn't confirm matter most.

Run the rehab and flip analysis to see what's left after repairs, holding costs, and selling.

Back on the property, download the parcel report as a PDF, to keep with your notes.

Watch the property and mark it as a bid candidate. Tick Saved only at any time to see your shortlist.

That's tax deeds: from a county to a property you're ready to bid on.
