| PROPERTY TAX / TAX DEEDS AND SALE |
TAX DEEDS, APPLICATION & SALE About Tax Deeds A tax deed refers to a type of deed that results from the nonpayment of real estate property taxes. When taxes are not paid a tax certificate (lien) is sold. The purchaser or holder of a tax certificate may apply for a tax deed and request the sale of the property when 2 years or more have elapsed since April 1st of the year the certificate was issued. (Note: A tax certificate is held for a minimum of two years and a maximum of seven years.) Tax Deed Application & Sale At any time between the second and seventh year of the tax certificate's issuance, the certificate holder may apply for a tax deed and request the sale of the property to satisfy the certificate. When the holder of a tax certificate makes a completed application, the property is then placed up for bid and auctioned. Tax deed sales are coordinated by the Clerk of the Court's Office. In Polk County an application for a tax deed is made online through Real Auction. The application allows the property to be sold at public auction. However, the owner may retain the property by paying the taxes any time before the tax deed is issued. To apply for a tax deed or for more information about the tax deed process visit Real Auction's website at www.realTDA.com. For more information about tax deed sales, visit the Clerk's website at www.polkcountyclerk.net and click on the Tax Deeds button. |
