The TaxLienSimple Index is a 0–100 research guide built from statutory terms and the inventory we track — not a yield, a guarantee, or investment advice. Realized returns depend on competition, redemption and your own due diligence. Verify every figure with the county before bidding.
Sale type
Tax Lien
Statutory return / penalty
110% of minimum bid if redeemed within 6 months, 115% if 6-12 months; plus 5%/yr on the overbid and on subsequently-paid taxes

What you buy
tax certificate sale; commissioners certificate/deed follow-on

Statutory note. Return is a fixed 10%/15% penalty on the minimum bid — the surplus (overbid) earns only 5%/yr, so overbidding heavily dilutes yield.
