Disclaimer

The one-paragraph version

Not legal, tax, or investment advice. Data comes from public sources and may be inaccurate or stale. Verify with the county.

Not professional advice

Tax Auction Radar is an information service. Nothing on it — calendars, rules pages, parcel scores, alerts, emails, or anything else — constitutes legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice, nor an offer, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or bid on any property. Tax-sale investing carries real risks: redemption rights, surviving liens, title defects, eviction processes, and total loss where not authorized by law. Consult a licensed attorney or tax professional in the property’s jurisdiction before participating.

Source data may be wrong or out of date

All content is derived from public sources — county and collector publications, court sites, statutes, and auction platform listings. Counties change lists, dates, terms, and statutes without telling us and sometimes without marking changes. We re-check and diff frequently, but nothing here is guaranteed current, complete, or correct. A missing lien, a moved sale date, or a last-minute removal can change the value of a bid entirely.

Verify with the county

  • Confirm each sale’s date, location, terms, and payment rules with the county department running it.
  • Read the county’s own bid requirements and buyer registration deadlines.
  • Order title work and search for surviving liens where allowed.
  • Inspect the parcel where lawful — some sales are final on sight unseen, at your risk.

No affiliation

We are not affiliated with any county, court, collector, or auction platform and are not endorsed by any of them. County terms and statutes control over any summary shown here.

Limitation of liability

Use of this service at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from use of, or reliance on, the service or its data, including bidding losses, purchase costs, taxes, penalties, or lost profit.
