Liens that survive

As-is tax deed subject to statutory redemption (homestead/ag ~2 years; other ~180 days from deed recording). Federal tax liens survive. HOA and unjoined liens may remain. Post-judgment tax years often due beyond judgment amount. Execution sales follow different lien rules than tax sales.

Quiet title

Title companies typically require quiet title after redemption expires before insuring free-and-clear marketable title.

Verify before you bid

Your assumptions

After-repair value (ARV)

Override the derived estimate with real comps

Rehab budget

You cannot inspect before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition

Known surviving liens

Municipal code enforcement, special assessments, federal tax liens

Target margin — 30%

Required profit as a share of ARV. 30% is a common floor for tax-sale flips.

How that number is built

If the owner redeems

Flat penalty

25%

You'd receive

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.
Costs exceed what the property can support at your target margin. There is no bid at which this clears.
