Buy now, no auction
Tax deed and tax foreclosure properties for sale, with no auction to wait for
By the TaxLienSimple Research Team. Page regenerated 2026-11-11. Source reports behind these counties were published between 2026-07-19 and 2026-11-11; each state's section names its source and the holder's current list always governs.
Most tax deed research starts with a sale date and ends with you missing it. These 41,999 properties across 289 counties in 14 states are the ones that already went to sale and drew no bid. The state, the county, a land bank or the taxing units now hold the title and sell them from a list, at a set price, on any day of the year.

One thing to be clear about before the list: a deed is not a certificate. There is no statutory interest rate here and nothing to redeem. You pay the price and you own the property, usually on a tax deed or quitclaim rather than a warranty deed, which in several of these states needs a quiet title action before it can be sold or insured.
Two kinds of inventory sit on this page and the sections say which is which. Most of it is land the state, a county or a land bank took and now holds. The other 1,976 are tax foreclosure properties that went through a court foreclosure and were struck off or retained for resale afterwards. Both are bought without attending a sale. Anything our sources flag as having a scheduled auction or sheriff sale is deliberately not here, because the whole point of this page is that there is no date to wait for.
Before you buy, what you are actually getting
Most people who reach this page have not bought one of these before. This part explains it in plain words. The tables underneath are the live inventory, and every figure in this section is taken from them.
Am I buying a house?
Yes, this list is the property itself, not the debt against it. That is what makes a tax deed different from a tax lien certificate, where you only buy the unpaid tax and the owner keeps the house.
You get it with whatever problems made nobody else bid. In most states the sale removes the mortgage, because a property tax claim ranks ahead of it. It does not reliably remove everything, and the title usually needs a court action called quiet title, meaning a case that settles once and for all who owns what, before a normal buyer or a lender will touch it.
What does "for sale right now" mean here?
It means there is no auction to wait for and nobody to outbid. Everything on this page went to a public sale, drew no bid, and is now held by the county or the state and sold on request. In lien states that inventory is often called county-held, certified to state, or assignment purchasing, all meaning the same thing: the government kept the claim itself when no investor took it, and will now assign it to you. Maricopa County in Arizona and Prince George's County in Maryland both use the word assignment for exactly this.
That is also the warning. Nobody bidding is why the full statutory rate survives, and it is why these parcels deserve a longer look than an auction lot would get.
Can I buy these online?
Sometimes. Several Florida counties sell county-held certificates online all year. Arizona counties mostly go through the treasurer's office. Washington DC takes over-the-counter purchases online Monday to Friday from 8am to 3pm with payment in full the same day. Alabama sells state-held land by application, which means you ask for a named parcel rather than clicking buy.
Each county is its own small bureaucracy. The county page for each row below links to the office that actually sells it.
How much money do I need to start?
Less than most people expect, and the bid is rarely the whole cost. East Baton Rouge Parish is currently offering parcels with initial bids of $100, and its own notice states that the administrative fees are payable separately in certified funds and do not count towards the purchase price. One $100 parcel carries $1,550 of fees.
Small does not mean safe. A cheap row attached to land nobody can build on or reach is still money you will not see again quickly.
What will I actually pay?
The taxes, interest and charges owed, plus whatever fees that government adds, and in some places a figure set by appraisal rather than by the market. Where a row below shows a range, it is taken from the amounts the counties published. Where it shows nothing, that government does not publish a price and quotes it on application.
What goes wrong
- You never looked at the parcel. A list gives you an address and a figure. It cannot tell you the lot is landlocked, under water, or three feet wide. That is the single biggest cause of a loss here.
- You read the figure as the total. Recording fees, administrative fees, later tax bills and title work all come on top, and in some places the fees do not reduce the purchase price at all.
- The list moved. These are snapshots of government records and parcels come off them when somebody pays. We refresh nightly from nine sources and still say plainly: confirm the row is live with that office before you spend anything.
- You assumed the sale cleared everything. Most mortgages go, but some government claims, assessments and easements survive and become yours along with the parcel.
How often does this list change?
Every night, from nine county and state sources. That matters more than it sounds. These are government records and rows come off them constantly: this week a refresh found 586 West Virginia parcels that had been on the state's list in July and were no longer certified to it, and 24 Alabama parcels that had gone. Those came off our pages the same day.
A list that is not refreshed quietly advertises property nobody can buy any more, which is the commonest fault in this corner of the internet. Ours still carries a date on every row, and we still say confirm it with the office before you spend money.
Which states can I actually buy in?
The ones in the tables below, which today is 41,999 properties across 289 counties in 14 states. That is not every state in the country. It is the ones where a government currently holds inventory and publishes enough for us to verify it, refreshed nightly from nine county and state sources.
If you are deciding where to start, the mechanism matters more than the headline rate. Lien states and deed states work differently, and that difference changes what you end up owning.
Alabama: 15,945 tax deed properties for sale in 39 counties
Unsold land is held by the state and listed on the Department of Revenue's transcript of tax delinquent property, bought by application rather than by bidding. What you actually receive depends on how long the state has held it: under three years from the county sale the state assigns you its certificate of sale, and after three years it issues a tax deed. The transcript does not publish that age parcel by parcel, so ask the Department which one applies before you pay (Ala. Code 40-10-120). One thing to know about the figures: the transcript prints an amount bid at the original tax sale, which is a historical number and not what you pay, and the Department certifies newly delinquent parcels before it prints that figure at all. So the newest tax year on each county transcript carries no amount, and the range shown for a county is taken from the parcels that do have one.

Land that draws no bid at the Commissioner of State Lands public auction becomes available statewide through Post Auction Sales, thirty days after the initial offering. These are awarded by bid rather than sold at a fixed price, so the figure below is the minimum rather than the asking price. What puts them here is that there is no sale date to wait for: a bid can be submitted on any day the parcel is listed. One thing worth knowing before you bid: since 1 July 2023 a parcel sold through the Commissioner cannot be redeemed, so the title you take is not exposed to the former owner paying up later.

Property offered at a Texas tax foreclosure sale that draws no bid is struck off to the taxing units that brought the suit, which means those authorities keep the property themselves because nobody bid on it. They hold the deed and resell it afterwards, at any time, without another auction, which is why these have a price and no date (Tex. Tax Code 34.01 and 34.05). A small number of rows are county-owned property sold directly by the county. Source: Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP (LGBS) Tax Foreclosure & Struck-Off Listings - Orange County.

Watch: researching a tax deed property before you bid
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.
How buying one of these actually works
A tax sale offers every parcel with unpaid taxes. Whatever draws no bid does not vanish: depending on the state it matures to the state, is deeded to the county, or is transferred to a land bank. That holder then publishes what it has and sells it to whoever applies first, at a price it sets rather than one bidders compete over. There is no sale date, which is why this inventory is available in October as readily as in April.
The work is in selection rather than timing. These parcels have been passed over at least once by people standing in the room, so assume there is a reason and go looking for it. Check whether the lot has road access, read the legal description for strips and easements, look for demolition orders and code liens that survive the deed, and find out what the state requires to make the title marketable. Our county pages list every parcel with its identifier and price; the research view adds a map, filters and CSV export.
Frequently asked
Can you buy a tax deed property without going to an auction?+
Yes. When nobody bids at the tax sale, the parcel does not disappear: it goes to the state, the county or a land bank, which then holds it and sells it from a published list. There is no bidding and no sale date to wait for. Mississippi sells state-forfeited land through the Secretary of State, Oklahoma counties sell county-owned property after the June resale, and land banks in Philadelphia, Wayne County and Ohio sell from stock.
What is the difference between this and a tax lien certificate?+
A certificate is a debt: you pay the back taxes, the owner redeems, and you earn a statutory interest rate. A deed is the property: you pay the price and take title, and there is no interest rate because there is nothing to redeem in most of these states. The due diligence is completely different, because you end up owning whatever you bought.
What kind of title do you get?+
Usually a tax deed or a quitclaim, not a warranty deed. That is enough to own and use the property, and in many states it is not enough to sell it or insure the title until a quiet title action has run, meaning a court case that settles once and for all who owns the parcel. Budget for that before you buy, and read the state guide for the rule where the parcel is.
Why is some of this so cheap?+
Because nobody bid on it, often twice. The parcels that survive to this stage skew to vacant land, small or irregular lots, landlocked strips, mobile homes on rented ground, and properties carrying code violations or demolition orders. Some are genuinely worth having at the price. Many are not, and the low price is the market telling you so.
What is the difference between a tax deed property and a tax foreclosure property?+
Both end with you owning real estate, but the route differs. A tax deed property is one the state, a county or a land bank already holds, usually because nobody bid on it at a tax sale, and it sells from that holder's list. A tax foreclosure property went through a court action to wipe out the delinquent owner's title, and in Texas, if nobody bids, it is struck off to the taxing units who then resell it. The practical difference is who you buy from and what the title looks like afterwards, so read the mechanism note on the state's section above.
What does struck off mean in Texas?+
When a parcel is offered at a Texas tax sale and draws no bid, or the bid does not meet the minimum, it is struck off to the taxing units that sued for the taxes: the county, the school district and so on. They take the deed and hold it. From then on the property can be resold at any time without another auction, at a price the units set, which is why Texas supplies most of the no-date inventory on this page.
Are there any properties here with a sale date?+
No, and that is on purpose. Several of our sources carry both standing inventory and parcels scheduled for an auction or a sheriff sale. Anything flagged as scheduled is excluded from this page and belongs on the auction calendar instead. If you find something here that turns out to have a sale date attached, the holder's list governs and we want to know.
How current is this list?+
Counts and amounts come from the state and county reports our sweeps read, and this page regenerates from that data. The sweeps do not all run on the same cadence, so the honest answer is the source dates themselves: the reports behind these counties were published between 2026-07-19 and 2026-11-11. Over-the-counter inventory moves slowly, which is why it is still worth listing, but a parcel can sell the day after a report is published. Confirm with the holder before you pay.
