Before You Bid:
Restrictions - Questions about building, zoning, and use restrictions should be addressed to the city and/or county departments responsible for engineering, building, code enforcement, and planning.
Title Insurance - Some title companies may not provide title insurance for up to ten years after the date of sale. Policies vary with each title company. If you are planning to build or sell, title insurance may be important to you.
Property Liens - It is the buyer’s responsibility to research and determine whether parcels are subject to encumbrances that will not be extinguished by the foreclosure sale. IRS liens are subject to a 120 day redemption period.
Local Use Restrictions Ordinances - Some properties may be subject to easements or use restrictions, as well as zoning or other land use controls. All properties are sold subject to applicable city and county ordinances. The existence of these are the buyer's responsibility to determine.
Community Association Dues - Properties are sold subject to restrictive covenants, if any, allowing for imposition of community association fees.
Physical Inspection of Property - The Treasurer's Office does not have the authority to grant access to the property or improvements, if any, and does not condone trespassing.
Improvements - If there are improvements on the parcel, you should find out if the improvements go with the land and how they are currently being utilized.
Occupied Properties - If a property is occupied, it is the responsibility of the winning bidder to handle the removal of occupants.
