How do I make a bid on county owned property that is being auctioned?
Do research on properties on the surplus list. For example, consider whether the local municipality will allow you to use the property the way you want to use it. If you have never bid before, it is a very good idea to consult with an attorney. Once you have completed your research and determined what you would like to pay for the property, make an offer using the Purchase Bid Form (.pdf) and the Private Bid Terms of Sale Form (.pdf).
