Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the auction. It is an oral auction starting with a minimum bid set by the Board of Commissioners. Successful bidders must pay the full amount with cash, money order, or cashier’s check within thirty (30) minutes of the sale of the last parcel. After the Treasurer receives payment, a Certificate of Sale and Receipt will be issued. A Statutory Quitclaim Deed is recorded approximately one (1) month following the auction.
No redemption period remains. Properties are not deeded to the County until the redemption period has expired.
Any individual intending to bid or purchase a property must be present at the sale. Linn County does not allow absentee bidding.
Any property that does not sell at auction will be immediately available for sealed bid. Information about the sealed bid process is also on our website. Sealed Bid Offer Forms will be available after the auction.
