Liens that survive

Tax foreclosure deed is subject to post-sale redemption rights and can leave certain superior interests. Federal tax liens and some non-tax liens may survive. Always run title before bidding; expect redemption risk on homestead property for up to 2 years.

Quiet title

Common after redemption period expires to obtain insurable title for resale or finance.

Verify before you bid

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

$41,866

Window

730 days

A 25% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

homestead and agricultural-use property (2 years); all other property is 180 days

Quoted elsewhere as 51% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. The 180-day vs 2-year window turns on the property's use at the time of sale, which the sale list does not state — treat any homestead-looking residential parcel as potentially 2-year.
