Watch how it works
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.
Pennsylvania: Three Upset Sales in Ten Days
Pennsylvania leads the next three weeks with three upset tax sales. Bucks County holds its sale on September 15, 2026. Chester County follows on Monday, September 21, 2026. Montgomery County closes the group on September 24, 2026, but that sale is continued to December 10, 2026. If you are tracking Pennsylvania upset sales, note that these are judicial sales where properties are sold for unpaid taxes. The continued date for Montgomery County means you have more time to prepare for that specific auction.
Indiana and Tennessee: Midweek Sales
Indiana's Allen County 2026 tax lien sale is set for September 16, 2026. This is a tax lien sale, not a deed sale, so you are bidding on the lien, not the property itself. The next day, September 17, 2026, Tennessee's Montgomery County holds its 2026-09 tax sale. These two sales fall on consecutive days, which may matter if you are researching both states. Check each county's official site for registration deadlines and deposit requirements.

Finding tax lien sales: auctions, OTC, and calendars
Real tax-lien sales are published by the county treasurer or tax collector, not by a marketing calendar, start at the source.
What to Verify Before You Bid
For each sale, confirm the time, location, and any registration steps with the county. Pennsylvania upset sales often require a list of properties and may have specific payment terms. Indiana tax lien sales can involve bidding on a percentage or a premium, depending on the county's rules. Tennessee tax sales may be conducted online or in person. Do not rely on third-party dates alone. Use the statutory dates here as a starting point, then verify with the county.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an upset tax sale in Pennsylvania?↓
An upset tax sale is a public auction of properties with delinquent taxes. The minimum bid is typically the upset price, which covers the taxes owed plus costs. If no one bids the upset price, the property may go to a subsequent sale.
Is the Allen County, Indiana sale a tax lien or a tax deed sale?↓
The Allen County 2026 tax lien sale is a tax lien sale. You bid on the lien, not the property. The property owner retains the right to redeem the lien by paying the owed amount plus interest.
Why is the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania sale continued to December 10, 2026?↓
The data shows the September 24, 2026 upset sale is continued to December 10, 2026. Continuances can happen for various administrative reasons. Check with Montgomery County for the specific reason and any updated procedures.
How do I find the exact time and location for these sales?↓
Contact the county tax claim bureau or trustee office directly. The dates here are county-verified statutory dates, but times and locations can change. Always confirm with the official county source before attending.
