This depends on where you are. In many areas, only a handful of people show up. Many times only 1 or 2 show up. There are other areas that have many people who attend tax lien and foreclosure auctions regularly. In one of my favorite areas, the same two wealthy investors show up every month. They compete with each other for the really high dollar properties. I could compete, but I don't.

Many states make the tax lien a priority lien. This means the property basically has a clear deed and all other liens, including mortgages are wiped out. Some states, like Texas do not.

I attended a foreclosure auction for a one bedroom condominium in Falls Church, Virginia. To my surprise, I was the only bidder. NOT ONE other person had showed up to bid on this property! I bid $1 over the opening bid and purchased a condominium worth $130,000 for only $57,719 ! I turned right around and flipped the property to an investor for $68,000! Since I only paid $57,719 for the property, I made a fast and easy $10,281 profit.

When a delinquent tax becomes subject to unsecured collection procedures or an unsecured tax becomes delinquent, a certificate of lien specifying the amount of tax due (including interest, penalties, and costs) may be recorded by the Tax Collector. The lien is upon all personal and real property in the county owned by the assessee (taxpayer) or subsequently assessed to the assessee named in the certificate or acquired by the assessee before the lien expires in 10 years.

Generally, each municipality will hold one tax sale per year. However, if there are no delinquent tax payers for a given year, there would be no tax sale for that municipality in that year. On the other hand, some municipalities have more than one sale in a year.

Even though the taxes for the year are not assessed and payable until near the end of the year, the law automatically imposes a superior lien against all real property on January 1 of every year to secure payment of the taxes for that year. The superior lien being applied January of each year requires the prorating or apportioning of taxes between seller and buyer, if a sale takes place between January and October.

The purchaser of the lien may assign it to another party by completing the assignment section on the back of the tax sale certificate issued to the purchaser. The auditor must be notified to change the owner of record of the tax sale lien certificate.
