CHANCERY SALE OF LAND

We do not have regularly scheduled sales. Rather the delinquent tax attorney sets the auction when he has several parcels for sale. He anticipates approximately one sale a year in the future.

The sales are advertised in the four Friday editions of the Wilson Post newspaper occurring immediately before the sale date, which is always on a Saturday. 

Payment in full is required on the day of sale. We do not have a financing program.

Upon buying a piece of property, the purchaser is given a certified copy of an Order confirming Sale which can then be registered in the Register of Deeds Office as evidence of title.

If the property is subsequently redeemed, the purchaser will receive interest at the annual rate of 10%.

We do not have an absentee bidding procedure. 

Properties, which do not sell at the auction, are titled to the county, which will resell the property without a minimum bid after expiration of the redemption period.

The county presently does not have any parcels for resale with the technical exception of one, which is believed to be a result of a mistaken survey description and is not believed to actually exist. 

We maintain a mailing list of people interested in our sales.

All prospective buyers are encouraged to thoroughly read and understand the state statutes and prior cases, which govern this matter.
