State sale type
Tax Deed
Redemption (state)
None after the sale for ordinary owners (redemption closes end of business the day before the sale, RCW 84.64.070). Narrow exceptions: a 3-year window for minors/legally incompetent owners, and a 120-day federal redemption right where an IRS lien attached.

Statutory terms are inherited from Washington. n/a, no ordinary post-sale redemption, so investors earn no redemption interest or penalty; return is the discount on the treasurer's deed. After a court foreclosure judgment, the county treasurer sells to the highest and best bidder (minimum bid = taxes + interest + costs) and conveys fee title by treasurer's deed under RCW 84.64.080.
