All sales are subject to an upset bid period.

 

None

 

You can bid on any property by attending the sale on the courthouse steps the day the sale is to take place. The price for each property has an Estimated Opening Bid set prior to the date of the sale. This is the approximate amount required for the opening bid. The person conducting the sale will announce the actual opening bid for each property at the time of sale. A deposit of five percent (5%) or $750.00 whichever is greater and the balance of the price bid must be paid at the end of the ten-day period and confirmation of the sale. Funds must be certified funds made payable to the proper entity that handled the auctioned property. The Attorney or the Sheriff’s office may, in its discretion, determine and allow a reasonable time within which to deliver the successful bid amount, but under no circumstances will the time be extended to the day following the sale. Bids are left open for upset bids ten days after sale date. You will be notified that an upset bid has been received. At that time you will have the option to place a higher bid. Any upset bids must be made in person at the Hoke County Clerk of Superior Court.
