HOW CAN ONE BID AT THE TAX SALE?
To participate in the tax sale one must first register as a bidder with the Tax Collector’s office through the tax sale web site. A bidder number is assigned for identification purposes during the sale. Bidders are required to make a deposit via an ACH from their account that is 10% of the estimated amount they intend to spend. Each time a bid is submitted on your behalf, the available balance is reduced by 10% of the face amount of each item. The deposit may be increased any time prior to the close of the auction. All deposits and payments must be submitted by an ACH transaction from the Internet sale site. An ACH debit is an electronic funds transfer from your bank account, initiated by the Tax Collector with your prior authorization. Debits entered on the Payments Page of the web site will be submitted immediately for processing. All funds must be drawn from a US financial institution. Some types of money market, brokerage, and/or trust accounts cannot accept ACH debits. Please chec
