Registration is required prior to the commencement of sale with a $100 security deposit which can be applied to the first winning bid or refunded if there are no successful bids. No one will be able to receive the $100 deposit, if they didn't purchase any property, without a receipt. A check will be instead mailed to the bidder within a few weeks. The Tax Sale registration form clearly states that you print "Full name or Business name exactly as it appears on the Tax Sale Certificate and Tax Sale Deed". No one will be allowed to change the name on the Tax Sale registration form or change the name in the system to add or take a name off of the certificate once the form has been turned in to our office. Registration begins the week immediately preceding the sale, ending Thursday before Tax Sale, no exceptions.
