Notes

Utah May Tax Sale (statutory final tax sale after multi-year delinquency). Cache County Tax Administration runs the annual tax sale; 2026 TAX SALE CANCELED (5/26/26) — all listed properties redeemed before sale. Paper Bidder Registration Form is posted, indicating a traditional registration process rather than a confirmed Public Surplus/online-only platform (unlike Salt Lake County). When a sale proceeds, Utah issues tax deeds after council ratification; excess proceeds handling follows Utah Code. Watch cachecounty.gov/tax-administration/tax-sale.html each spring.

Auction logistics

Format

In-person / form-based registration when held (confirm current year — 2026 canceled)

Frequency

Annually in late May when parcels remain unreemed (2026 canceled for full redemption)

Platform

Cache County Tax Administration — Tax Sale ↗

Deposit rules

Complete Bidder Registration Form when a sale is live; payment method and any deposit set in that year’s notice. 2026 had no sale — retain form for future cycles. Sold AS IS buyer-beware when sales occur.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Utah final tax sale deed generally cuts off many junior private liens after proper notice; federal tax liens can survive. Confirm excess proceeds and redemption posture for the specific sale year under Utah Code Title 59.

Quiet title

Often required by title companies before insuring Utah tax-deed property for resale.
