Terms of Sale (Upset & Judicial Sale)

• There will be no Redemption Period after the date of the sale, but the taxes and costs can be paid up to the date of the sale.
• It is strongly urged that the prospective purchasers have an examination made of the title of any property in which they may be interested. Every reasonable effort has been made to keep the proceedings free from error. 
• However, in every case the Tax Claim Bureau is selling the taxable interest and the property is offered for sale by the Tax Claim Bureau without guarantee or warranty whatsoever.
