How Arizona tax lien sales work
Arizona sells tax liens called certificates of purchase. Each county treasurer holds one sale a year, online in most counties on RealAuction's arizonataxsale.com sites. Bidders bid the interest rate down, and certificates nobody buys can be bought over the counter afterwards.
- What you buy
- A certificate of purchase: a lien for the taxes owed, not the land.
- Who sells
- The county treasurer.
- How you bid
- The interest rate, bid down from 16% in 1% steps. The lowest rate wins.
- Redemption
- The owner has at least three years, and can redeem until a court closes it in foreclosure.
- Getting the land
- After three years the holder can foreclose in court, after a 30-day notice. The court orders the treasurer to issue a deed.
- Expiration
- A certificate expires if the holder hasn't acted within 10 years.
- Over the counter
- Certificates nobody bids on are held for the state and can be bought from the county by assignment.
- Title
- A treasurer's deed carries no title warranty.
Law: A.R.S. 42-18121 and 42-18201. A summary, not legal advice. Confirm the rules and deadlines with the county before you bid.
