§ 8870 Tax Delinquent Land Sale

• •If you don't pay your property taxes on time, the county can sell your land.
• •The county will give you a warning before selling your land.
• •You can stop the sale by paying what you owe before the sale happens.
• •The land goes to the highest bidder who pays with real money.

Imagine you own a small piece of land, but you forget to pay your property taxes for a few years.

The county will send you a notice saying they will sell your land if you don’t pay. If you still don’t pay, they will sell your land to the person who offers the most money. But if you pay everything you owe before the sale, you get to keep your land.
