Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a clear title if I win a tax deed auction?

No, the Clerk does not guarantee clear title. It is the buyer's responsibility to research liens and potentially file a 'quiet-title' suit in civil court.

What happens if I am the winning bidder but fail to pay the balance?

You will lose your non-refundable deposit and will be banned from participating in future auctions.

Can the original owner get the property back after the sale?

Yes, if the former owner disputes the sale in court, a judge will determine the final ownership.
