What survives this sale

Certificate of purchase is a lien vehicle; Collector's Deed after statutory process is stronger but federal tax liens and some interests can survive. Overbid/surplus trust rules are highly specific under MO law — 90-day claim window after deed, then school-fund escheat risk. Full title search required before bidding.

Parcels — ranked by assessed value over opening bid

No parcels published yet

The county has announced 266 parcels for this sale, but the parcel list itself has not been fetched yet — so there is nothing to rank here. Counties often publish it only days before the sale. Check back closer to Aug 24, 2026.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — RSMo 137.115(5)(1) assesses real property by subclass as a percentage of true value in money: residential 19%, agricultural and horticultural 12%, and utility, industrial, commercial and all other 32%. This entry uses the residential rate. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
