Notes
Kentucky certificate-of-delinquency (tax lien) county — not a tax-deed auction. Christian County (Hopkinsville / Fort Campbell) Clerk sells certificates of delinquency after sheriff transfer of unpaid real property tax bills. 2026 Delinquent Property Tax Sale: July 28, 2026 beginning 9:00 a.m. CDT; all participants must register with the County Clerk by close of business July 20, 2026 (270-887-4109). Anyone wanting more than 3 tax bills in any one county or more than 5 in the state must register with KY Department of Revenue (revenue.ky.gov) at least 60 days prior. Buyer holds a lien certificate with 1-year redemption class and statutory interest/fees — foreclosure/deed is a separate court process. Fort Campbell military market — deployment vacancy and off-post housing DD essential.
